2017-2018 / ALIM0011-1

Food process engineering (Part 2)

Duration

9h Th, 15h Pr

Number of credits

 Master in bioengineering : chemistry and bio-industries (120 ECTS)2 crédits 

Lecturer

François Bera

Language(s) of instruction

French language

Organisation and examination

Teaching in the second semester

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

Students are divided into groups of 3. Taking into account the imposed objectives, they have to : - study the operation - identify the critical parameters - develop the measurement methods - measure the operation parameters of an evaporator, a cake filtration unit, a gravity thickener, an UHT sterilizer, a disk-bowl centrifuge, a screw centrifuge.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Strengthening through practical works, of the theoretical knowledge of the Food engineering course (part 1), bringing students to develop their initiative. After completing the course the student is expected to be able to assess the most important unit operations involved in the biological products transformation and to quantify their different characteristics from data obtained through measurements or an experimentation designed and realised by himself.
