BTEC 653 - Applied Bioprocess Engineering

[3]

A chemical engineering course covering basic process engineering, from the milliliter to the kiloliter scale. Topics relevant to the commercial bioprocesses used in the food, pharmaceutical and waste treatment industries will be introduced. Both upstream processes (e.g., fermentation, cell growth, energetics, mass transfer and enzyme kinetics) and downstream processes (chromatographic separations, ultrafiltration and waste treatment) will be covered.
Prerequisite: Prerequisite: BTEC 652 or consent of instructor.
