This welcome new edition covers bioprocess engineering principles for the reader with a limited engineering background. It explains process analysis from an engineering point of view, using worked examples and problems that relate to biological systems. Application of engineering concepts is illustrated in areas of modern biotechnology such as recombinant protein production, bioremediation, biofuels, drug development, and tissue engineering, as well as microbial fermentation. The main sub-disciplines within the engineering curriculum are all covered; Material and Energy Balances, Transport Processes, Reactions and Reactor Engineering. With new and expanded material, Doran’s textbook remains the book of choice for students seeking to move into bioprocess engineering.
NEW TO THIS EDITION:
New to this edition:
Audience: Senior undergraduate students in applied biology taking final year options in bioprocessing/biotechnology and graduate students in biological sciences taking masters courses, or beginning research in engineering departments. This book should also be useful to undergraduates taking new, emerging courses bridging the gap between biology and engineering, such as BS/BSc in process biotechnology, biotechnology, and bioprocessing. In addition, undergraduates/graduates in chemical engineering taking courses in bioengineering will benefit from this text. Finally, industrial practitioners working in biotechnology, pharmaceutical companies, food industries, and those trained in molecular biology and cell manipulation, who need to acquire knowledge on the principles of large scale processing of biological material.
