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.

Aim of the course

Last update: Kubová Petra Ing. (07.02.2018)

Students will be able to:

apply chemical engineering methods to biological processes, i.e., make use of balances and kinetic equations,

describe kinetics of biochemical reactions and of biomass and microbial product formation,

describe quantitatively and design simple bioreactors - stirred batch bioreactor andchemostat.
