Analysis of a model of the nutrient driven self-cycling fermentation process
Abstract
Self-cycling fermentation is a computer-aided process used for culturing microorganisms. Potential applications could include water purification, treatment of sewage, and the cleanup of toxic waste. We consider a model of growth of a single species in the fermenter, assuming a single limiting nutrient, with the level of this nutrient as the triggering factor. The model is formulated in terms of impulsive ordinary differential equations. The …
