TUM CS BVT - Master's thesis - Development of a soft sensor for an industrial fermentation process

Location

Schwandorf | Germany

Job description

Efficient fermentation processes are crucial for industrial biotechnology. Many process parameters can only be determined offline. The resulting time delay limits efficient real-time process control. A soft sensor can overcome this challenge. Based on a model, a soft sensor can continuously measure process parameters that cannot be measured directly with conventional hardware sensors. Therefore, an optimal control of a specific bioprocess and thus maximum yields in minimal fermentation time can be achieved.
The goal of this master's thesis is to develope a soft sensor based on already existing models. Aufgaben:

• Development of a SoftSensor in Python
  • Optimize and adapt the current mechanistic and data-driven model
  • Create a link between model and process control
  • Validation
