FIGURE 1.6
The pillars of bioprocess kinetics and system engineering.
principles, in particular bioprocess kinetics and transformation or reaction engineering prin-
ciples together. Chemical reaction engineering is not a prerequisite before taking on this text.
Figure. 1.6
shows the pillars of this text. The sustainability on this pillar is narrowly defined
as having the net benefit to the human society and/or benign environmental effects.
As shown in
Fig. 1.6
, the fundamental knowledge of engineering science you will learn or
expect in this text is among the “pillars”: mass balance, rate expression, stoichiometry, cell
metabolism, yield factor, energy balance, mass transfer, cost, and profit analyses. These engi-
neering science fundamentals form the basis or foundation for the design and performance
analysis of reactors and/or fermenters. In turn, process kinetic data analysis, biocatalyst
design and selection can be learned from the reactor performance, and applied to the design
and performance analysis of reactors and/or bioprocess systems. Process stability usually
stems from multiplicity of the process, which controls the product quality and consistency.
Finally, the design and control of bioprocess systems must obey the greater law of nature:
sustainability.
1.10. SUMMARY
Sustainability and green chemistry are important to the practice of bioprocess engineers.
Biorefinery is a desired approach to provide the products of human needs, putting the
human needs into the biological cycle. Both biotransformation and chemical transformations
are important to biorefinery.
