--Consider the continuous aerobic growth of a bacterium on glucose and ammonia according to the
stoichiometry:
0.25C6H12O6+0.20NH3+0.37O2CH1.67N0.20O0.27+0.50CO2+0.97H2O
A biotech company is interested in producing 100ghr of bacteria (on a dry basis). A feed
stream containing 0.27gL glucose and 0.019gL ammonia is available. What feed stream flow
rate, in ghr, and O2 flow rate, in ghr, will be required? Assume all liquid streams have a density
similar to water and that all O2 is consumed. What will the composition of the product stream
be?
oxygen
feed
product
bioreact
