£1750 Special prices for group packages and SMEs available.
This module focuses on the design and specification of bioreactors and the application of microscale techniques for rapid fermentation process development and scale-up. A series of comprehensive lectures and case studies will enable you to:
Understand engineering principles of fermentation.
Determine power consumption and oxygen mass transfer.
Evaluate different strategies for scale-up and scale-down.
Know about miniaturised bioreactors and their role in fermentation process development.
Understand how to design a bioreactor and use data from microscale experiments for scaleup.
Emphasis is on teaching through interactive problem solving case studies in small classes for effective learning.
Recommended for fermentation scientists and engineers in biotechnology and biopharmaceutical companies’ or similar who are involved in process transfer to manufacturers and also those in established fermentation development groups wishing to be kept up to date with the latest research in this area.
