Summary
A preliminary control system for a solid substrate pilot bioreactor is described. The performance of the system in real time experiments is discussed and future improvements are proposed. Reasonable control of temperature and water content of the solid bed were achieved, although the system is not fully automatic and needs human supervision.
Resume
Nous présentons ici le système préliminaire de contrôle d’un bioréacteur pilote de fermentation solide, d’une capacité de 50 kg. La performance en temps réel du système est discutée et des améliorations futures sont proposées. Bien que nous avons mis au point un système de contrôle de la température et de l’humidité du substrat solide, le système nécéssite encore une surveillance humaine et de ce fait il n’est pas encore entièrement automatisé.
