Leeruitkomsten
- You can apply knowledge of the various biochemical pathways to estimate feasibility of biological production processes.
You can use the model-based concept of microbial growth to calculate the limiting use of nutrients and the formation of biomass and product in batch and continuous bioreactors.
You can make a delineation of the anaerobic production of biomass and calculate biogas yield as a function of various process parameters.
You can calculate biomass production rates of photosynthesis.
You can rank the applicability of the various types of bioreactors (for example: bubble column, packed bed, stirred tank) for a given biochemical production process.
You can carry out and evaluate an experiment for the production of bio-ethanol from different feedstocks.
