Abstract
This paper discusses a model of two interconnected chemostats in series, characterized by biomass mortality. A comparison is established with a single chemostat of the same total volume in two different cases, that are with or without mortality rate. The outlet substrate concentration and the biogas flow rate are the main criteria for comparison. According to conditions depending on the operating parameters and the distribution of the total volume, our results show which structure, the series of the two chemostats or the single chemostat, performs better in terms of minimizing the outlet substrate concentration or maximizing the biogas flow rate, and this with or without account of mortality. Moreover, the differences and similarities in the results corresponding to the case with mortality and the one without mortality, are highlighted.
