Bioprocess Engineering and Technology: Downstream Process and Plant Design

by Biswanath Bhunia (Editor), Navneet Joshi (Editor), Muthusivaramapandian Muthuraja (Editor)

Overview

This book deals with the practical aspects in bioprocess plant design, project engineering, process economics, IPR, and biobusiness prospects related to bioprocess engineering.

Bioprocess Engineering and Technology: Downstream Process and Plant Design also explains how productivity, efficiency and safety of process plants hinge on proper equipment functionality. The authors explain the various downstream processes that can be employed for separation and purification of desired products. The editors provide the protocols for plant design and process design along with the project requirements needed in planning and commissioning a bioprocessing plant. The book also emphasizes the importance of biosafety, regulations, IPR, project engineering and bioprocess economics for development of entrepreneurship within the industry. Finally, the editors also include various case studies that describe potential biobusiness options within bioprocess engineering.

The text is wide in scope and highlights the multidimensional approach for developing expertise in bioprocessing and would be a useful resource for students studying bioprocess engineering as well as entrepreneurs and managers in the business.
