✦ Synopsis

This paper examines the problem of high frequency multi-input periodic operation of continuous fermentation process. Based on n-criterion published prevously, it is shown theoretically that a continuous fermentation process under the operation of simultaneous high frequency periodic change of feed substrate concentration and dilution rate is always superior over the steady state operation except at the optimal feed substrate concentration. This, however, is yet to be conÐrmed experimentally. Finally, via computer simulations, a good correlation between the simulation and theoretical calculation of the percentage of improvements on the process productivity is revealed.

## Abstract In this contribution we investigate the impact of the forcing waveform on the productivity of a continuous bioreactor governed by an unstructured, nonlinear kinetic model. The (periodic) forcing is applied on the substrate concentration in the feed. To this end, some alternative wavefor
