The purpose of this volume is to describe the components assembly and implementation of computer-based process control systems. Presented in two sections it illustrates how such systems have been used to monitor and control industrial fermentation processes as a means to improve our understanding of product biosynthesis. This book covers the fields of indirect parameter estimation and fermentation-specific control algorithms. It also includes chapters which describe system architecture and process application process control on-line liquid sampling and computer system architecture. This is an ideal source for anyone involved with biotechnology bioengineering microbial technology chemical engineering and computer control. Language: English
