Patil, Rohit A. School of Chemical Engineering 2006 http://hdl.handle.net/2440/69737 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.
