# Industrial Specification: Automated Fermentation Control System

## 1. Technical Definition
Integrated industrial system for precise control of alcoholic fermentation processes.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.8-1.2 bar absolute pressure, 18-32°C temperature, 3.5-4.2 pH**. Failure boundary: **Pressure exceeding 1.5 bar absolute causes vessel rupture, temperature below 15°C halts yeast metabolism, temperature above 35°C denatures enzymes**, Mechanism: **Vessel rupture occurs when internal pressure exceeds yield strength of 316L stainless steel (205 MPa at 20°C). Thermal failure follows Arrhenius equation where reaction rate doubles per 10°C increase until enzyme denaturation at 35°C.**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Hansen Solubility Distance (HSP)**:

> **Primary Equation**: $R_a = \sqrt{4\Delta\delta_d^2 + \Delta\delta_p^2 + \Delta\delta_h^2}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Predicts seal/gasket swelling when exposed to CIP chemicals.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| \delta_d | Dispersive | Engineering Constant |
| \delta_p | Polar | Engineering Constant |
| \delta_h | Hydrogen | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| PID controller integral windup during rapid temperature setpoint changes | 8 | Overshoot exceeding 35°C for &gt;15 minutes causing irreversible enzyme denaturation | Implement anti-windup circuitry with 0.1°C deadband and rate limiting of 2°C/minute setpoint changes |
| Dissolved oxygen sensor biofilm accumulation exceeding 50μm thickness | 8 | Signal attenuation causing false low oxygen readings triggering unnecessary aeration | Install ultrasonic cleaning system operating at 40kHz with 30-minute intervals and automated calibration against Clark electrode reference |
