Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng):Bioreactor control has become increasingly important in several industries.
Bioreactors are used when developing and producing biotechnological products.
For instance, these products include penicillin, vitamins, insulin, enzymes, beer, and wine.
Due to the importance of these products, there are enormous economic incentives to optimize the bioprocesses needed to develop and produce the products.
Proper process control contributes to the bioprocess optimization, for instance, by reducing the production costs, by increasing the yield, by providing better reproducibility, and by enabling better quality control.

This thesis presents how a process control system was developed for a bioreactor with multiple vessels.
The developed process control system enabled the operators to carry out cultivations in a temperature and pH controlled environment in each of the 15 bioreactor vessels.
The control of the temperature and of the pH value is important since they affect essential process variables like the biomass growth and the product formation.
Furthermore, the process control system enabled, to a limited extent, efficient cultivations of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae due to the control of the ethanol concentration.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a commonly used host organism for the production of various biotechnological products.
Therefore, it is of great interest to be able to grow the organism efficiently.
