Single-Course Engelsk 2.5 ECTS

Automation and control of yeast fermentation

Overall Course Objectives

This course aims to provide participants with an understanding of the theory and skills needed to make decisions related to on-line sensor selection in view of establishing closed-loop control on a model fermentation process (yeast). Participants will be introduced to the theory of process control, and will learn how to use model simulations to study the effect of applying control to a bioreactor. On-line sensor concepts will be introduced, and the participants will learn how to work with on-line data, first in terms of detecting outliers and replacing missing values, and then for classification.
