Question

Continuous operation is better than Batch operation in ethanol fermentation.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

I'd like to ask this question from Anaerobic Bioprocesses in section Mixed Cultures & Traditional Industrial Bioprocesses of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) True

The best I can explain: Continuous operation in ethanol fermentations has significant advantages over batch operation. With continuous media sterilization and aseptic operation techniques, contamination problems associated with continuous operation can be eliminated.
