The promise of industrial biotechnology has been around since Chaim Weizmann
developed acetone–butanol–ethanol fermentation at the University of Manchester in 1917 …

This study deals with production of lipase in solid state fermentation by R hizopus oryzae
from sugarcane bagasse. A tray bioreactor was designed for the extracellular enzyme …

BACKGROUND: Heat removal is one of the major constraints in large‐scale solid‐state
fermentation (SSF) processes. The effect of internal air circulation by forced convection on …

A mathematical model relating heat and mass transfer in compost pile disposal in field is
presented. The unsteady non linear mathematical diffusion model is solved through the finite …

This paper considers the self-heating process which occurs within a compost pile using a
one-dimensional spatially-dependent model incorporating terms that account for self …

The coupled two-dimensional heat and oxygen diffusion in a compost pile of sewage sludge
obtained from domestic wastewater treatment was studied. The unsteady, coupled, non …

The medium of solid-state fermentation (SSF) is a multiphase system, whose complex
physical properties cause difficulties of the cognition of SSF process and the process control …

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) has advantages, such as lower water use and higher
volumetric productivity, over those of submerged fermentation. As a result, SSF technology …

As organic porous soil, peat is prone to self-heating ignition, a type of spontaneous initiation
of fire that can take place at ambient temperatures without an external source. Despite the …

The increase in temperature in compost piles/landfill sites due to micro-organisms
undergoing exothermic reactions is modelled. A simplified model is considered in which …
