The use of packed-bed reactors for biohydrogen production often results in performance losses in the short term because of the negative effects of operational factors, such as biomass accumulation and inadequate pH conditions. ...

The continuous improvement programs and innovation have been stimulated and widely deployed due to the importance to the competitiveness of the organisations, being subjects of interest in several studies. However, there ...

This paper presents a new MILP mathematical formulation for the scheduling of resource-constrained multiproduct plants involving continuous processes. In such facilities, a sequence of continuous processing steps is usually ...

The effect of continuous and cyclical heat stress on broiler growth performance, nutrient digestibility, energy and nitrogen balances was investigated. Four hundred and fifty, 21-day-old, Cobb male broilers were raised in ...

Supervising and controlling the many processes involved in petroleum production is both dangerous and complex. Herein, we propose a multiagent supervisory and control system for handle continuous processes like those in ...

Degenerated strains of Clostridium acetobutylicum lack the ability to produce solvents and to sporulate, allowing the continuous production of hydrogen and organic acids. A degenerated strain of Clostridium acetobutylicum ...

With the increase of the customer's demand degree, the search for the quality improvement is consolidated as one of the strategies more proceeded in the different market segments. The Six Sigma initiative is a system of ...
