Abstract A novel operation strategy employing self-generated oscillation to imrpove the performances of bioreactors is proposed and applied to a model system consisting of two continuous stirredtank bioreators (CSTBs) connected in series. It is demonstrated via computation that the performance of the system (in terms of timeaveraged cell concentration) can be greatly enhanced by adopting the proposed strategy. The process concept presented and the results obtained in this paper are expected to have significant implications beyond the bioprocessing industry.
