Abstract

This study deals with the problem of estimating the amount of biomass and lactic acid concentration in a lactic acid production process. A continuous stirred tank bioreactor was used for the culture of Lactobacillus helveticus. A nonlinear sliding mode observer is proposed and designed, which gives an estimate of both the biomass and lactic acid concentrations as a function of glucose uptake from the culture medium. Numerical results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed observer against a standard sliding-mode observer. It was found that the proposed observer worked very well for the benchmark bioreactor model. Also, the numerical results indicated that the proposed estimation methodology was robust to the uncertainties associated with un-modelled dynamics. These new sensing technologies, when coupled to software models, improve performance for smart process control, monitoring, and prediction.

Keywords: lactic acid fermentation; nonlinear observer; observability analysis; sliding mode observer design
