A simple generic code for optimization of CFSTRs in series with any biokinetic equation (structured, unstructured, segregated or distributed) has been developed. The program accepts biokinetic equations without any preliminary mathematical manipulation, does necessary material balances, solves material balance equations and optimizes the system under a given objective function. The program was tested with four different optimization problems (different biokinetics of unstructured, segregated and a structured model) and the results were compared to published data. In all cases, good agreement was found. Finally, the model has been applied to multiple CFSTRs with a Cybernetic biokinetic model, and the effect of model parameters on the optimum total residence time is demonstrated.On a mis au point un programme gtntrique simple pour I'optimisation des rtacteurs agitts fludists continus (CFSTR) en strie pouvant Etre utilist avec toute forme d'kquation biocinttique (structurte, non structurte, segrtgte ou distribute) Le programme accepte les tquations biocinttique sans manipulations mathtmatiques prealables; il fait les bilans de matiere necessaires, rtsout les tquations de bilan de matihe et optimise le systtme pour une fonction objectif donnee. Le programme a ttt test6 avec quatre probltmes d'optimisation difftrents (biocinttiques difftrentes d'un modkle non structurt, stpart et structurt), et on a compart les rtsultats aux donntes publites. Dans tous les cas, un bon accord est trouvt. Enfin, le modtle a Ct6 applique de multiples CFSTR a I'aide d'un modtle biocinktique cybernttique, et on dtmontre I'effet des paramttres du modtle sur le temps de stjour total optimum.
