Modeling and Optimization of Wastewater Treatment and Lipid Production using a Mixed-Culture of Algae and Bacteria in a High Rate Algal Pond
DownloadSpring 2019
Biofuels are being considered as an alternative source of energy produced from fossil fuels. Among various biological resources, microalgae have captured lots of attention in recent years due to their potential use as renewable energy source for biofuel production since they offer high growth...

Non-linear reparameterization of complex models with applications to a microalgal heterotrophic fed-batch bioreactor
DownloadSpring 2010
Good process control is often critical for the economic viability of large-scale production of several commercial products. In this work, the production of biodiesel from microalgae is investigated. Successful implementation of a model-based control strategy requires the identification of a model...

Obtaining Temperature Dependence of Cell Membrane Permeability Parameters Using Non-Ideal Thermodynamic Assumptions to Mathematically Model Real Cryopreservation Protocols
DownloadSpring 2023
Cryopreservation is the process of preserving biological matter such as cells, tissues, and organs, at sub-zero temperatures for long-term storage. Cells at low temperatures are susceptible to mechanical damage due to intracellular ice formation and osmotic injuries related to increasing...
