Abstract
A method of modeling a fermentation process comprises providing a first principles model of a fermentation process; determining the concentration of at least one substrate in a fermentation composition at a first time; and predicting the concentration of at least one component of the fermentation composition at a second time using the first principles model, wherein the second time is after the first time.
Claims17
A computer implemented system for a fermentation simulation tool for simulating a fermentation process, said system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a memory comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for a first principles fermentation simulation tool defining a first principles model of a fermentation process, wherein instructions for the first principles model configure the processor to:
- receive an initial concentration of at least one substrate in a fermentation composition at a first time;
- predict a first concentration of at least one component of the fermentation composition at a second time using the first principles model of the fermentation process with the received initial concentration of the at least one substrate and, wherein the second time is after the first time;
- adjust an operating parameter of the fermentation process based on the predicted first concentration at the second time;
- and
- predict an additional concentration of the at least one component of the fermentation composition at an additional time after the second time using the first principles model with the adjusted operating parameter which is based on the predicted first concentration.
