Abstract
This paper describes an experimental study of linear adaptive control to achieve the monitoring of a continuous stirred tank reactor. The practical control objective was the regulation of the substrate concentration at a pre-specified value in the process effluent despite local changes and/or culture physiology variations. The substrate concentration and the dilution rate have been selected as the controlled and the control variable respectively. The results obtained confirm that this approach offers the possibility to combine simplicity and effectiveness in bioprocess control.
