The course provides basic overview of quantitative description of processes taking place in enzyme catalysis and in bioreactors. It builds on the principles of chemical engineering, notably on mass and energy balances with the use of kinetic relations for mass transfer and for the biochemical conversion. Student will learn about enzyme processes and bioprocesses but also about unit operations preceding or following the bioreaction.
