Compétences visées

Students are educated in basic biotechnological process engineering subjects to perform and design upstream and basic downstream processes including :

• Growth kinetic of microorganism and essential kinetic parameters for a improved controlling the bioprocess including sterilization kinetics of cultivation media
• Choice and design of bioreactors and mode of operation depending on the process conditions
• Basics in mixing, aeration and mass transport of aerobic bioprocesses
• Basics in measurement and instrumentation of bioreactors
• Overview of selected downstream processes

Additionally the students learn about different mechanisms of heat transfer and kinetics such as

• heat conduction and Fourier’s law with respect to different geometries,
• heat convection and
• the Nußelt-similarity-theory together with dimensionless characteristics.

Furthermore they are taught how to the design and scale a continuous destillation as an example for a thermal separation process together with its balancing with respect to mass and energy and the visualisation in a McCabe-Thiele-diagram.
