A web-based application for biorefinery design and evaluation of serial biomass fermentation

Tuesday, August 4, 2015 - 09:00 in Physics & Chemistry

The composition of feedstock biomass and the selection of fermenting microorganisms are critical factors in biorefinery design. Once biomass feedstock is identified, depending on local conditions, biorefinery designers need to select optimal fermenting organisms. Using organism communities has theoretical advantages but also leads to problems in the context of species competition, process design and modelling, in turn resulting in insufficient process control.
