Industrial Biotechnology

Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to understand the Basic bioprocess concepts • Profits & pitfalls in biotechnology • Large scale industrial manufacturing implications • Various types and categories of equipments available • Design and operation of bioreactors • Concept of sterilization and aseptic operations • Scale-up and scale-down of bioprocesses • Validation of bioprocesses and equipment • Process control instrumentation specific to bioprocesses • Downstream processing

Description
Industrial biotechnology (or white biotechnology) is the application of biotechnology for industrial purposes, including manufacturing, alternative energy (or "bioenergy"), and biomaterials. It includes the practice of using cells or components of cells (such as enzymes) to generate industrially useful products. Industrial biotechnology needs the integration of disciplines, long-term plans, large Research and Development commitments, development of cheap feed-stocks and powerful enzymes. All this requires proper understanding of the subject. The course covers most of the above considerations and provides the brief theory, process and equipment design aspects, process and service specifications, and applications of these processes in a practical manner.

Course Outline
Industrial Applications: Benefited industry sectors, Newer applications, Cutting-edge Technology • Fermentation Technology: Important aspects in Fermentation, Components of Bioreactors, Operation of Bioreactors • Design & Scale Up: Bioreactor types, Design of Bioreactors, Scale-up of Bioprocesses • Bioprocess Engineering: Objectives, Specialized activities, Process improvement • Downstream Processing: Classification overview of separations, Outline of process operations

Who should Attend
As the course provides information directly relevant to common functional interdisciplinary roles in the bioprocess industries, chemical and bioprocess engineers from various functional areas (manufacturing, process engineering, design, technical services, projects, maintenance) • Scientists and technical personnel involved with complementary and allied functions (manufacturing plant operations, quality assurance, research and development, safety, planning, procurement, etc.) • Engineers having electrical, mechanical and instrumentation background, and working in maintenance, projects, design, site installation and commissioning of bioprocess plants and • Investors and established industrialists looking to diversify into the field of biotechnology
