In ethanol production with immobilized yeast a major problem is the provision of nutrients to these highly concentrated cells. O2 being one of the nutrients of utmost importance to yeast cells, was fed into a column packed with beads with a cell loading of more than 40 g/l. Since addition of large volume of air or O2 to a cylindrical column reactor would aggravate the problems of pressure build up and channelling caused by the evolving CO2 gas, a tapered-column reactor and pulsed flow of oxygen gas was used. The supplement of O2 gas to the tapered column increased the productivity from 21.1 g ethanol x (l gel x h)-1 to 26.7 g x (l gel x h)-1, when the ethanol concentration at the outlet was about 80 g/l. The yield coefficient of ethanol was also increased from 0.41 g ethanol/g glucose to 0.43 after O2 supplement was started. The effects of frequency and duration of O2 supplement were also determined.

KINETICS OF SPONTANEOUS WINE PRODUCTION OZILGEN, M; CELIK, M; BOZOGLU, F (Elsevier BV, 1991-03-01) Substrate consumption, ethanol production, microbial growth, and temperature increase in a fermentation vessel are metabolically interrelated biological phenomena. In spontaneous wine fermentations, mixed cultures of various microbial species are involved in the fermentation process. Due to the continuously changing species contributing to the microbial population, these metabolically interrelated parameters are treated separately in the enology literature. In the present study, mathematical models are pres...
Influence of nickel (II) and chromium (VI) on the laboratory scale rotating biological contactor Taseli, B. K.; Gökçay, Celal Ferdi; Gurol, A. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-09-01) High concentration of heavy metals is toxic for most microorganisms and cause strict damage in wastewater treatment operations and often a physico-chemical pretreatment prior to biological treatment is considered necessary. However, in this study it has been shown that biological systems can adapt to Ni (II) and Cr (VI) when their concentration is below 10 and 20 mg/L, respectively. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Ni (II) and Cr (VI) on the lab-scale rotating biological contactor process...
KINETICS OF MULTIPRODUCT ACIDOGENIC AND SOLVENTOGENIC BATCH FERMENTATIONS OZILGEN, M (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1988-12-01) Large amounts of data indicated that most of the metabolic processes of the acidogenic (acid producing) and the solventogenic (solvent producing) fermentations were regulated by product accumulation. A simple unstructured model simulated microbial growth, product formation and substrate utilization in six different fermentations, where five different microorganisms produced various combinations of ten different products. Specific growth rates of these microorganisms decreased proportionally with overall pro...
KINETICS OF MICROBIAL-GROWTH, GAS-PRODUCTION, AND DOUGH VOLUME INCREASE DURING LEAVENING AKDOGAN, H; OZILGEN, M (Elsevier BV, 1992-02-01) Microbial growth, gas production, and volume increase were studied experimentally at 10-degrees-C, 15-degrees-C, 20-degrees-C, 25-degrees-C, and 30-degrees-C in a sourdough production process. Microbial growth was simulated with the logistic equation. Gas production and dough volume increase rates were simulated with the Luede-king-Piret and saturation equations, respectively. In a leavening process, carbon dioxide is produced by the Bakers' yeast and entrapped into the gas cells formed by the gluten fil...
MICROBIAL-GROWTH KINETICS OF FED-BATCH FERMENTATIONS OZADALI, F; OZILGEN, M (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1988-09-01) Fed-batch fermenters are generally operated with the addition of small doses of nutrients, therefore the volume of the fermentation broth increases with time. Batch fermenters generally contain and almost constant volume of broth and a logistic equation has been commonly employed to simulate microbial growth in them. Mass balances were determined with fed-batch fermentation to obtain expressions which account for the effect of volume increase and the subsequent dilution of the biomass. A growth rate express...
