This work is concerned with the automatic control of biotechnological processes, in particular the regulation of a biomass concentration inside a continuous fermentation process. To overcome the difficulties often encountered with classical regulators, we use adaptive scheme techniques. We give a predictive control scheme using on‐line estimation of the specific growth rate (considered as a time‐varying parameter) which takes into account the feed effect on this parameter and calculate the dilution rate at each step.
