The emergence and refinement of techniques in molecular biology has changed our perceptions of medicine, agriculture, and environmental management. Scientific breakthroughs in gene expression, protein engineering, and cell fusion are being translated by a strengthening biotechnology industry into revolutionary new products and services. Many students have been enticed by the promise of biotechnology and the excitement of being near the cutting edge of scientific advancement. However, graduates trained in molecular biology and cell manipulation soon realize that these techniques are only part of the picture; reaping the full benefits of biotechnology requires manufacturing capability involving the large-scale processing of biological material. Increasingly, biotechnologists are being employed by companies to work in co-operation with chemical engineers to achieve pragmatic commercial goals. For many years, aspects of biochemistry and molecular genetics have been included in chemical engineering curricula, yet there has been little attempt until recently to teach aspects of engineering applicable to process design to biotechnologists. This textbook is one of the first to present the principles of bioprocess engineering in a way that is accessible to biological scientists. Other texts on bioprocess engineering currently available assume that the reader already has engineering training. This publication explains process analysis from an engineering point of view, but uses worked examples relating to biological systems. Over 170 problems and worked examples encompass a wide range of applications, involving recombinant plant and animal cell cultures, immobilized catalysts, as well as traditional fermentation systems. The book presents the principles of bioprocess engineering in a way that is accessible to biological scientists. Over 170 problems and worked examples encompass a wide range of applications. Thirteen chapters, organized according to engineering sub-disciplines, are grouped in 4 sections - Introduction, Material and Energy Balances, Physical Processes, and Reactions and Reactors. Each chapter includes a set of problems and exercises for the student, key references, and a list of suggestions for further reading. The book includes useful appendices detailing conversion factors, physical and chemical property data, steam tables, mathematical rules, and a list of symbols used. It is suitable for course adoption and follows closely curricula used on most bioprocessing and process biotechnology courses at senior undergraduate and graduate level.
