Abstract

Bioengineering has advanced thanks to progress in chemical engineering and control theory, leading to the development and production of innovative drugs and medical treatments. Our research introduces a new and reliable adaptive sliding mode control (ASMC) method that involves an initial mixing phase of the substrate before injecting it into the bioreactor, focusing on regulating nutrient concentrations. By using a diffeomorphism, we break down mathematical properties like bilinearity, enabling us to create a a chain-like structure system to implement nonlinear ASMC effectively. This fresh approach shows promise in enhancing the efficiency and output of fermentation processes, opening up new possibilities for controlling biomass production in the fermentation industry.

Keywords

Bioreactor, adaptive sliding modes, nutrient concentration control, bilinearity elimination.
