BIOPROCESS DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION PROJECTS

BioProcess Digital teaches the bioprocess engineering concepts and methodology 

through case studies projects developed on spreadsheet simulators

CASE STUDY PROJECTS

Projects objectives

  • Determine bioprocess mass balances, energy consumptions, equipment sizes

  • Optimize bioreactors batch, continuous and fed-batch operations

  • Evaluate and reduce bioprocess cost

  • Evaluate and reduce bioprocess environmental impacts

Examples of projects

Design, cost and environmental optimization of an enzyme fermentation process

  • Process material balance and energy consumption

  • Cost evaluation of the production process

  • Environmental impacts of the process
