| Abstract: | In food and pharmaceutical industries plant failure can be costly and sometimes catastrophic to public health. This thesis uses the notion of Friday 13th Syndrome, ie. the unexpected failure of a well-operated plant, to develop a new and rigorous mathematical model of a generalised, continuous fermenter to gain insight into the likelihood of bioprocess failure. This new model is developed for a continuous, anaerobic fermenter based on widely employed Monod process model. |
