This paper presents a comparative study of Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor concentration control using Particle Swam Optimization and Bacterial Forging Optimization. Continuous stirred tank reactor plays a very important role in process industry. This paper presents the optimal design of PID controller based on Particle Swarm Optimization and Bacterial Forging Optimization. The first step is th...

Experiments Most publications of velocity measurements in stirred tanks concern measurements in single-phase flows. An excellent review of these studies was made by Ranade and Joshi (1990a). Literature concerning velocity measurements in aerated stirred tanks is scarcer however. An overview of literature is given in Table 1. Lu and Ju (1987) used constant temperature anemometry (CTA) in order t...

The non-isothermal continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) is a classical yet complex case study of nonlinear dynamical systems. Power-shaping control is a recent approach for the control of nonlinear systems based on the physics of the dynamical system and it rests on the formulation of the dynamics in the Brayton-Moser form. The Brayton-Moser formulation of the non-isothermal continuous stirre...

In this paper the design of a nonlinear feedback controller is analyzed for concentration control of continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR) which have strong nonlinearities. Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) is one of the common reactors in chemical process and all industrial process requires a solution of specific chemical strength of chemicals considered for analysis. Here Particle Swar...

Rationale and significance. Recombinant therapeutic proteins are frequently produced in mammalian cells cultivated in suspension in large-scale stirred tank bioreactors. There are three major drawbacks to stirred-tank bioreactors. First, they are expensive to purchase and maintain, limiting their availability to some potential users. Second, they have not been adapted to volumetric scales less ...

Optimization of submerged culture conditions for the production of mycelial growth and exopolysaccharides (EPSs) by Collybia maculata was investigated. The optimum temperature and the initial pH for EPS production in a shake-flask culture of C. maculata were found to be 20°C and 5.5, respectively. Among the various medium’s constituents examined, glucose, Martone A-1, K2HPO4, and CaCl2 were the...

The effect of organic and inorganic nitrogen sources on Trichoderma reesei Rut-C30 cellulase production was investigated in submerged cultivations. Stirred tank bioreactors and shake flasks, with and without pH control, respectively, were employed. The experimental design involved the addition of individual organic nitrogen sources (soy peptone, glutamate, glycine and alanine) within a basal me...

A novel milliliter-scale stirred tank bioreactor was developed for the cultivation of mycelium forming microorganisms on a 10 milliliter-scale. A newly designed one-sided paddle impeller is driven magnetically and rotates freely on an axis in an unbaffled reaction vessel made of polystyrene. A rotating lamella is formed which spreads out along the reactor wall. Thus an enhanced surface-to-volum...

The autocatalytic reaction between chlorite and iodide ions exhibits a remarkable range of dynamical behavior. In a stirred tank reactor it shows bistability between steady states and between a steady and an oscillatory state. It forms the core of a large family of systematically designed chemical oscillators. The chlorite-iodide system has served as the prototype reaction in the discovery and ...
