Rapid Fermentation Process Design
Focusing on rapid fermentation process development and scale-up
15 - 17 October 2012
This module focuses on rapid fermentation process development and scale-up, through a series of lectures and case studies enabling you to:
- Understand engineering principles of fermentation.
- Determine power consumption and oxygen mass transfer.
- Evaluate different strategies for scale-up and scale-down.
- Know about miniaturised bioreactors and their role in fermentation process development.
- Understand how to design a bioreactor and use data from microscale experiments for scale-up.
Who should attend?
Fermentation scientists and engineers in biotechnology SMEs who are involved in process transfer to manufacturers and also those in established fermentation development groups who wishing to be kept up to date with the latest research in this area.
