ABSTRACT:
In this research work, the fermentation process in a Brewery will be optimized, with the application of Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC). Fermentation is controlled by regulating the temperature, the oxygen content and the pitch rate; but the temperature plays a dominant role in the optimization of the fermentation process. For our case study (Guinness Nigeria Plc) the optimal fermentation temperature is 16ºC, so the FLC has been designed to maintain this temperature. The designed FLC can also be applied to maintain any other optimal fermentation temperature e.g. 20ºC. These two cases have been investigated. The FLC has been stimulated on a digital computer using MATLAB 5.0 Fuzzy Logic Tool Box.
