Region fuzzy control for batch processes Part 2. Feed timing prediction and control for an antibiotic fermentation production process

Abstract
Whether a selection of a feed timing for an antibiotic fermentation production process is suitable or not will directly influence the performance of the process. A prediction and decision model of feed timings for an industrial acetyl spiramycin fermentation production process is established using the approach of the region fuzzy control for batch processes. The results of industrial tests, carried out with the established model, are satisfactory.
