LIAM KOZMA
2023 Process Control Kinetics Distillation

Senior Bioprocess Lab Series

Four standalone bioprocess experiments oriented toward ethanol production. Characterized E. coli growth across Air/N2 ratios to locate optimal conditions. Tuned a level controller by the Ziegler-Nichols method.

Tracked conductivity in ethyl acetate and ethanol systems to resolve base conversion against temperature and retention time. Profiled a lab-scale fractional distillation column across reflux ratio, heater power, and tray count.
