The objective of this work is to design a controller for process variables for the penicillin production, carried out in a fed-batch reactor, following predefined profiles. The design technique is based on linear algebra, which allows the design of multivariable controllers and highly nonlinear systems.To achieve this, it is necessary to possess a mathematical model that adequately represents the process and the concentration profiles that system should follow. Simulation results are shown for different initial conditions.
