After the course, the student can model kinetics and dynamics of bio-technical processes (mainly fermentation) starting from the process phenomena and mass balance models. He also understands the limitations of different approaches and the modelling assumptions. He also has preliminary skills to write models in Matlab/Simulink environment.

Course content: Bioreactors; models, kinetics and transfer phenomena. Models: different modelling approaches with examples. Control of fermentation processes.

Course includes: Contact lectures, individual work and home tests (one per week)
