A graphical method is proposed for batch fermentation process optimization. Its objective function is the maximum output of the product when the time of process is fixed or free. The technique of optimization is based on Bellman's dynamic programming concepts and the assumption that the process can be described by mathematical models of generalized structure. An example of the proposed technique's application is presented.
