Dynamics of a Bioreactor with a Bacteria Piecewise-Linear Growth Model in a Methane-Producing Process

Abstract EN

This paper shows a study, both analytical and numerical, of a continuous-time dynamicalsystem associated with a simple model of a wastewater biorreactor.

Nonsmooth phenomenaand border-collision local bifurcations appear when the main parameters (dilution and biomass concentration at the inflow) are varied.

We apply the Filippov methods following Kuznetsov’s work.
