Bioprocess Principles Syllabus for B.Tech Fourth sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Bioprocess Principles B.Tech 2016-2017 (R13) fourthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
- To impart knowledge on design and operation of fermentation processes with all its prerequisites.
- To endow the students with the basics of microbial kinetics, metabolic stoichiometry and energetics.
UNIT I : OVERVIEW OF FERMENTATION PROCESSES [9 Hours]
Overview of fermentation industry, general requirements of fermentation processes, basic configuration of fermenter and ancillaries, main parameters to be monitored and controlled in fermentation processes.
UNIT II : RAW MATERIALS AND MEDIA DESIGN FOR FERMENTATION
PROCESS [9 Hours]
Criteria for good medium, medium requirements for fermentation processes- carbon, nitrogen, minerals, vitamins and other complex nutrients, oxygen requirements. Medium formulation for optimal growth and product formation, examples of simple and complex media, design of various commercial media for industrial fermentations- medium optimization methods.
UNIT III : STERILIZATION KINETICS [7 Hours]
Thermal death kinetics of microorganisms, batch and continuous heat sterilization of liquid media, filter sterilization of liquid media, air sterilization and design of sterilization equipment – batch and continuous.
[TOTAL : 45 PERIODS]
OUTCOMES: Upon completion of the course in Bioprocess Principles graduates will be able to
- Apply engineering principles to systems containing biological catalysts to meet the needs of the society.
- Convert the promises of molecular biology and genetic engineering into new
processes to make bio-products in economically feasible way. - Interpret the kinetics of living cells and to develop a strategy to solve the issues emerging during fermentation processes.
- Enhance and modify the biological materials to improve its usefulness by finding the optimal formulation materials to facilitate product production.
