%0 Journal Article %T Modelling of L-valine Repeated Fed-batch Fermentation Process Taking into Account the Dissolved Oxygen Tension %A Kalin Todorov %A Tzanko Georgiev %A Ignat Dimov %A Julia Kristeva %J Bioautomation %D 2009 %I %X This article deals with synthesis of dynamic unstructured model of variable volume fed-batch fermentation process with intensive droppings for L-valine production. The presented approach of the investigation includes the following main procedures: description of the process by generalized stoichiometric equations; preliminary data processing and calculation of specific rates for main kinetic variables; identification of the specific rates takes into account the dissolved oxygen tension; establishment and optimisation of dynamic model of the process; simulation researches. MATLAB is used as a research environment. %K Modelling %K Optimisation %K Repeated fed-batch process %K Fed-batch process with droppings %K L-valine. %U http://www.clbme.bas.bg/bioautomation/2009/vol_12.1/files/12_1.4.pdf
