Abstract

A mathematical model of the temperature autostabilization by microorganism populations in batch and continuous operation has been developed. It adequately describes the process of temperature autostabilization by Candida tropicalis yeast microorganisms on H-alkanes. The model analysis has permitted determination of the conditions for the existence of the phenomenon and an explanation of its basic factors, such as linear biomass growth and dependence of microorganisms growth velocity on heat transfer through reactor walls. The industrial application of this interesting phenomenon is discussed.
