“…Extensive studies have been performed on the optimization of the ABE process in the fed batch and continuous reactors based on the mathematical model, which are presented as follows. Dynamic optimization of the semi-batch ABE fermentation with in situ pervaporation membrane separation was accomplished by Lin and Lee [4] to determine the optimal feeding pro le through time. Sandu et al [5] selected the substrate concentration, the inoculum volume, and the feed ow rate as decision variables to maximize the production of solvents in the ABE fed-batch biosynthesis.…”

In recent years, biofuels have attracted considerable attention as a renewable and clean source of energy and have been playing the role of suitable alternatives to fossil fuels. One of the most attractive types of biofuels is Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE), which is produced in a batch fermentation process by the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium acetobutylicum and sugar-based substrate as feedstock. In this paper, the optimization of this process was carried out according to a bi-objective function. A hybrid model of Multi-Objective Di erential Evolution (MODE) algorithm and distinguished decisionmaking methods, namely linear programming technique for multidimensional analysis of preference (LINMAP), Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), and Shannon's entropy, were applied to nd the nal optimal operating point. The initial concentration of substrate and the nal operating time of the process were selected as decision variables to maximize the two main objectives in terms of solvent yield and productivity. A Pareto optimal set presents a wide range of optimal operating points, and a proper operating condition can be selected based on the necessities of the applicant. The best optimal point obtained by TOPSIS, according to the lowest value of deviation index, was also compared with the results of the economy-based optimization.
