Separation processes are an integral part of any industrial biotechnology. Each biotechnological process requires operations that involve separation, concentration, or purification of substances, both raw materials (upstream processes) and products (downstream operations). Students will get acquainted with principles of selected separation processes in biotechnology, their mass and enthalpy balance, process kinetics, instrumentation and equipment used in laboratory scale and industrial practice, including the possibilities of control and modeling of unit operations. It is shown what role strategies and economics play in choosing separation processes and overall purification sequence. Examples of biotechnology from practice are used for demonstration of the realization of separation processes, including the use of integrated processes - the connection of bioprocess with "downstream" techniques.

Last update: Kubová Petra Ing. (14.11.2018)

Students will expand thier knowledge of industrial biotechnology and bioengineering regarding separation processes. In particular, they will acquire skills in the field of upstream and downstream processing of biotechnological production, development, design and optimization of biotechnological processes, including the design of an efficient sequence of separation processes from the point of view of economic indicators, functionality and safety with respect to good manufacturing practice.
