In this paper a new non-linear observer is designed for on-line estimation of the broth composition in the bioreactors. The design is based on asymptotic observer. An additional correction is done to asymptotic estimation, taking into account the structure of the reaction rate equations. Two examples of biotechnological processes are used to show the performance of the proposed observer.
Keywords: bioreactors, non-linear observers
