maximizing yeast growth with feedback for optimal control of batch fed fermentation in a biofuel manufacturing facility

摘要

MAXIMIZATION OF YEAST GROWTH WITH RETRO-FOOD FOR OPTIMUM CONTROL OF FERMENTATION IN FEDERATED BATTERY IN A BIOFUEL MANUFACTURING FACILITY. The present invention provides new techniques for controlling biofuel production processes. In particular, the estimated yeast activity values are determined by yeast activity sensors. These estimated yeast activity values are used to skew the predicted yeast activity values from a dynamic predictive model of inference. The predicted yeast activity values influenced in turn are used to control a fermentation sub-process of the biofuel production process, while also being used to update the dynamic predictive model of inference, to maximize the yeast activity in the fermentation sub-process. Maximizing yeast activity and yeast growth in the fermentation sub-process leads to the maximization of biofuel production in the biofuel production process.
