Abstract
Results show that considering only the investment in production fermentors underestimates the optimum number of fermentation units, probably because it only considers the investment in production fermentors and its assumptions of equal preparation and discharge times. On the other hand, the method proposed in this work, although somewhat more complex, gives a more accurate result.
