Advanced Biochemical Engineering

This applications approach to the engineering aspects of biological manufacturing, provides practical coverage of fermentation reactor design, purification processes, modern biology, genetic engineering and biological waste treatment. Also included is material on fuels, chemicals from biomass, mass transfer in biological systems, design of novel bioreactors and many other topics. The book was developed from an industrial training course for engineers in industries that manufacture biological products and is presented in a manner that requires only a minimum background in the biological sciences.
