Abstract: | In this study, we consider a two-stage fermenter with cell recycling including an extractor to produce lactic acid. When the extractor was omitted, the proposed process was simplified to two special processes. Under the same operating conditions, we compared the overall lactic acid productivity and glucose conversion for the three processes. The proposed fermentation process was more efficient than the other processes. To simultaneously obtain the maximum productivity and conversion, the problem is formulated as a fuzzy multiobjective optimization problem. The fuzzy decision is introduced to convert the multiobjective fuzzy optimization problem into the fuzzy goal attainment problem. Hybrid differential evolution is applied to solve the fuzzy goal attainment problem to obtain a global Pareto solution. |
