Bioprocess Engineering Syllabus for B.Tech Fifth 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 Engineering B.Tech 2016-2017 (R13) fifthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
- To provide the students with the basics of bioreactor engineering.
- To develop bioengineering skills for the production of biochemical product using integrated biochemical processes.
UNIT I : OPERATIONAL MODES OF BIOREACTORS [9 Hours]
Fed batch cultivation, Cell recycle cultivation, Cell recycle cultivation in waste water treatment, two stage cultivation. Packed bed reactor, airlift reactor, fluidized bed reactor and bubble column reactor.
UNIT II : BIOREACTOR SCALE – UP [8 Hours]
Regime analysis of bioreactor processes, oxygen mass transfer in bioreactors –
microbial oxygen demands; methods for the determination of mass transfer coefficients; mass transfer correlations. Scale up criteria for bioreactors based on oxygen transfer, power consumption and impeller tip speed.
UNIT III : BIOREACTOR CONSIDERATION IN ENZYME SYSTEMS [8 Hours]
Analysis of film and pore diffusion effects on kinetics of immobilized enzyme reactions; formulation of dimensionless groups and calculation of effectiveness factors. Design of immobilized enzyme reactors – packed bed, fluidized bed and membrane reactors.
[TOTAL : 45 PERIODS]
OUTCOMES:
Upon completion of Bioprocess Engineering course graduates will be able to
- Select appropriate bioreactor configurations and operation modes based upon the nature of bioproducts and cell lines and other process criteria.
- Apply modeling and simulation of bioprocesses so as to reduce costs and to enhance the quality of products and systems.
- Plan a research career or to work in the biotechnology industry with strong
foundation about bioreactor design and scale-up. - Integrate research lab and Industry; identify problems and seek practical solutions for large scale implementation of Biotechnology.
