Abstract

The hybrid modelling approach for bioprocesses combines a neural network representation of the reaction rates with a mass–balance description of the reactor. A procedure for the identification of hybrid models is proposed and illustrated with an experimental case-study. The key feature is a state transformation which allows to identify separately the kinetic models of the reaction rates even if they occur simultaneously in the reactor. (c) Elsevier
