Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| This course gives an overview of the principles used in industrial microbiology. The different steps necesary for doing a product are developped and integrated in a general production scheme. The exemples of enzymes and micro-organismes are developped.
After completing the course the student is expected to
- know the basic components of the bioreactor (vessel, pales, valves,
automation,...)
- perform basic calculation to design a bioprocess:
at the level of the microbial population (kinetic, mass balance,...)
at the level of the bioreactor (oxygen transfert efficiency, heat transfert
efficiency, mixing efficiency,...)
- perform the scale-up of a bioprocess |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
