  1. Batch Growth Heat generation by microbial growth For actively growing cells, the maintenance requirement is low, and is directly related to . The heat of combustion of the substrate is equal to the sum of the metabolic heat and the heat of combustion of the cellular material. Is the heat of combustion of the substrate (kJ/g substrate) is the cell mass yield per substrate consumption (g cell/g substrate) is the heat of combustion of cells (kJ/g cells) is the metabolic heat evolved per gram of cell mass produced (kJ/g cells)

  2. Batch Growth Heat generation by microbial growth Re-arrange the above equation: The higher degree of oxidation of the substrate has lower amounts of heat released: 1/YH Glucose: 2.38 kcal/g cell produced ethanol: 5.55 kcal/g cell produced Methanol: 8.33 kcal/g cell produced Methane: 16.34kcal/g cell produced Unit!

  3. Batch Growth is the cell mass concentration (g/L); is the liquid volume (L) Heat generation by microbial growth The total rate of heat evolution in a batch fermentation QGR is (kJ/h) H removal: by circulating cooling water through a cooling coil or cooling jacket in the fermentation.
