What is Bioprocess Engineering
Bioprocess engineering is a conglomerate of fields, applied in the context of biological systems, usually to create a product of commercial interest. Application of bioprocessing opens the gateway to eco-friendly alternatives to wastewater treatment, such as dealing with water bodies contaminated with industrial effluents.
A typical bioprocess involves the fermentation of a stock culture (e.g. E. coli) at a small scale which is subsequently scaled up to suitable production capacities. The products from the fermentative stages are then separated using a variety of techniques designed to exploit the orthogonal properties of desired products.
Stages of large scale fermentation of E. coli:
