The influence of the operating conditions on the losses rates in controlled batchand continuous fermentation reactor has been studied. In which 120 l pilot fermenterreactor used to produce acetic acid from ethanol at standard condition. The results show,the increasing of 1 ºC of mixture temperature, increasing of 1 m3/h of the aeration flowrate or increasing the mixing speed to 1 rpm leading to increase the losses rates to (1.22,0.92, 0.94 ml/l) respectively.
