Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course the student is expected to: - be aware of the applications of transport phenomena (fluid flow and mixing, heat transfer, mass transfer) to bio-processes, as well as the relevant mass and energy balances, the basic principles of kinetics in biological systems (self-catalytic, enzymatic, heterogeneous reactions, cell growth , enzyme deactivation, energy metabolism) - know the operating principles of the main types of bioreactors (discontinuous, plunger flow and full mixing). - be able to solve related combinatory exercises referred to in the preceding articles. - be familiar with the main "downstream processing" methods, which refer to biodegradation, ie isolation and purification of biotechnological products.
General Competences
  • Apply knowledge in practice
  • Adapt to new situations
  • Work in an interdisciplinary team
  • Respect natural environment
  • Advance free, creative and causative thinking
