Course Content
|
This course focuses on the applications of chemical engineering principles in the analysis and design of bio-based processes. The emphasis is placed on biochemical kinetics, enzyme engineering, cell growth and metabolism, bioreactor analysis and design, and recovery and purification of products.
Students will have a group project on a bioprocess engineering application. You will produce a bioproduct in a bioreactor and cover the whole bioprocess for the production of the choseen bioproduct.
