Abstract
AbstractThe optimal design of two interconnected continuous stirred bioreactors in which a single reaction occurs is presented. The term “optimal” should be understood here as the minimum of the total volume of the reactors required to perform a given conversion rate, given a quantity of matter to be converted per time unit. In determining the optimal volume, it is assumed that the input flow may be distributed among the tanks and also that a recirculation loop can be used. The analysis of the optimal configurations is investigated, and the concept of “steady‐state equivalent biological system” is highlighted. The class of growth functions for which the results of this study hold is quite wide and includes, in particular, Monod, Haldane, and Aiba kinetics.
