This course focuses on both theoretical understanding and practical application of downstream bioprocessing techniques with industry relevance. It covers the fundamentals and advanced contents of downstream bioprocessing processes, including removal of solids (or recovery), isolation of product, purification, and polishing. Final bioproduct formulation, packaging, and storage will also be introduced. The key unit operation techniques for the abovementioned stages will be learnt through engineering analysis and design. Integration of the downstream process, economics, and environmental impacts will be discussed. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursNote: Students with credit for CHE 468 will not receive credit for this course.
