G. Alternative Off-line Optimized<br />
Production Experiments<br />
The experiment in paragraph 5.2.6 on page 116 was designed by optimizing the expected<br />
total volumetric productivity with an extra limitation with respect to the maximal biomass<br />
concentration: the OD600 should stay below 70. Without this extra limitation,<br />
much higher biomass concentration were expected, as shown in paragraph G.1.<br />
Besides the total volumetric productivity, also other criteria could be of interest for<br />
process optimization. For instance a maximal final product concentration or the absence<br />
of problematic by-products are often of interest to facilitate the down-stream processing.<br />
The overall yield of product on substrate can be of interest when substrate costs form<br />
a significant part of the production costs. As another example, this overall yield is also<br />
optimized off-line just like the total volumetric productivity. The suggested experiment<br />
is mentioned in paragraph G.2.<br />
G.1. Total Volumetric Productivity<br />
The optimized process with respect to the total volumetric productivity, without the<br />
extra limitation on the maximal optical density, is shown in figure G.1, together with<br />
the expected results. This experiment could not be performed due to limitations with<br />
respect to the oxygen transfer between the gas phase and the liquid phase in the used<br />
fermentation equipment.<br />
The expected maximal total volumetric productivity was with 14.0 mM.h −1 higher<br />
than the expected value with the extra limitation on the biomass concentration, which<br />
was 10.2 mM.h −1 .<br />
