Abstract

This chapter has the purpose of explaining some of the Instrumentation and Control concepts and their application in solid-state fermentation. When dealing with instrumentation, it is important to keep in mind that it could be divided in four parts: Sensors, Actuators, Control, and Communication Network. Some of the newest technologies appear first in industrial sensors and controlling systems, indeed some of them are specific necessities developed. Industrial automation and control demands large amounts of investment, thus these devices suppliers do not have doubts about using the more updated technology, even if costs are high. However, the usual sensors and control devices are more and more cost effective due to electronic industry development and the demand and supply behavior.
