Fed-batch fermenters have gained particular attention due to its wide range of high valued products production possibilities. Nowadays, the optimization and control of these systems is an important task given its significant economic impact and particular characteristics. The paper proposes a linear algebra based controller for nonlinear and multivariable bioprocesses. It involves finding the control actions to make the system follow predefined optimal concentration profiles. The controller parameters are selected with a Monte Carlo experiment. Finally, the good performance of the controller is proved under normal conditions and adding perturbations in the control action.
