Use of dynamic step response for control of fed-batch conversion of lignocellulosic hydrolyzates to ethanol

Nilsson, Anneli LU ; Taherzadeh, MJ and Lidén, Gunnar LU (2001) In Journal of Biotechnology 89(1). p.41-53
Abstract
Optimization of fed-batch conversion of lignocellulosic hydrolyzates by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied. The feed rate was controlled using a step response strategy, in which the carbon dioxide evolution rate was used as input variable. The performance of the control strategy was examined using both an untreated and a detoxified dilute acid hydrolyzate, and the performance was compared to that obtained with a synthetic medium. In batch cultivation of the untreated hydrolyzate, only 23% of the hexose sugars were assimilated. However, by using the feed-back controlled fed-batch technique, it was possible to obtain complete conversion of the hexose sugars. Furthermore, the maximal specific ethanol productivity (q(t.max))... (More)
Optimization of fed-batch conversion of lignocellulosic hydrolyzates by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied. The feed rate was controlled using a step response strategy, in which the carbon dioxide evolution rate was used as input variable. The performance of the control strategy was examined using both an untreated and a detoxified dilute acid hydrolyzate, and the performance was compared to that obtained with a synthetic medium. In batch cultivation of the untreated hydrolyzate, only 23% of the hexose sugars were assimilated. However, by using the feed-back controlled fed-batch technique, it was possible to obtain complete conversion of the hexose sugars. Furthermore, the maximal specific ethanol productivity (q(t.max)) increased more than 10-fold, from 0.06 to 0.70 g g(-1) h(-1). In addition, the viability of the yeast cells decreased by more than 99% in batch cultivation, whereas a viability of more than 40% could be maintained during fed-batch cultivation. In contrast to untreated hydrolyzate, it was possible to convert the sugars in the detoxified hydrolyzate also in batch cultivation. However, a 50% higher specific ethanol productivity was obtained using fed-batch cultivation. During batch cultivation of both untreated and detoxified hydrolyzate a gradual decrease in specific ethanol productivity was observed. This decrease could largely be avoided in fed-batch cultivations. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. (Less)
