− | The continuous mode of operation was initiated with a dilution rate of 0.1 h{{sup|-1}} at hour 5. Constant OD was obtained for 9 hours. However, the feed pump was observed to be pumping more medium than the harvest removed by the harvest pump. Hence at our 30, the Master Control Program was modified to change the speed of the harvest pump accordingly. The harvest pump rate was changed to pump 30% faster than the feed pump. The change made is reflected in reduction of OD from an average value of 0.78 to 0.76. | + | The continuous mode of operation was initiated with a dilution rate of 0.1 h{{sup|-1}} at hour 5.
