Description
To provide training for MSc biochemical engineers, via lectures and case studies, in the engineering principles underlying the operations and processes for the recovery and purification of biological materials. The course focuses on how operations need to be integrated to create a whole sequence where issues of ease of operation, safety and environmental impact are considered at the selection stage. Taught alongside industrial delegates this course provides a blend of theory and application supported by insights to cutting-edge developments in the field.
Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to:
- Discuss the reasons for selection of particular operations considered from a whole bioprocess perspective;
- Familiarise with the mechanisms of operation and apply the key design equations for equipment sizing and performance estimation
- Appreciate the implications for operation selection and assess the robustness, ease, safety and cost.
- Understand how complete recovery and purification sequences may be best put together to provide the ideal precursor to pilot plant studies, design projects and research projects.
