Description The aim of this module is to introduce the Biopharmaceutical and other related industries and their associated processing principles and techniques. The module will expand the students’ knowledge and understanding of bioprocessing in industry, and will improve the students’ analytical abilities and problem solving methodologies in this area. This module also forms a basis for more advanced modules in bioreactors and bioseparations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Learning Outcomes 1. Gain systematic understanding to describe in qualitative terms the operation of a variety of upstream and downstream biopharmaceutical process operations. 2. Gain advanced knowledge to manipulate and perform calculations on process variables with particular emphasis on data analysis and evaluation. 3. Gain complex and advanced skills to apply steady and unsteady-state material and energy balance concepts to batch, fed batch and continuous processes. 4. Gain systematic knowledge to perform simple design calculations for a variety of rate-controlled process equipment. 5. Gain critical awareness to evaluate equipment design on the basis of performance for a range of processes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
