Biochemical Engineering applies chemical engineering principles to biologically-based systems and processes, bridging the fields of environmental engineering and biotechnology. This course provides a systematic and quantitative exploration of key topics, including microbial composition and classification, medium formulation and sterilization, microbial growth kinetics, transport phenomena in bioreactors, and bioreactor design for aerobic, anaerobic, and biofilm-based processes. Students will also examine techniques for bioreactor monitoring, control, and product isolation and purification. Practical insights into industrial practices and biotechnological applications, such as pharmaceutical production, fine chemicals, and environmental bioprocesses, are integrated throughout the course.
