EB 3570 - Kinetics and Bioreactor Design

4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits
This course addresses the selection of the optimal configuration and size of production scale bioreactors for specific applications. The design of fermentation reactors and cell culture type bioreactors and their applications will be discussed. Course topics include: types of operation, reactor types, substrate consumption kinetics, production kinetics for biochemicals and biomass, batch reactor kinetics, semi-continuous reactor kinetics, continuous reactor kinetics, and fundamental reaction parameters. Course material is applied to practical reactor selection, sizing, scale-up and operation. (prereq: BI 102 , CH 223 , EB 3510 , EB 3620 )
