Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering: Bioprocesses, Bioreactors and Controls

The past decade has witnessed unprecedented growth and development in biotechnology and bioengineering, positioning bio-economy as a major indicator of advancement. Providing extensive coverage of new developments, state-of-the-art technologies and potential future trends, Current Developments in Biotechnology and Bioengineering is a package of nine books that compile the latest ideas from across the entire arena of biotechnology and bioengineering. This volume, Bioprocesses, Bioreactors and Controls, reviews industrial biotechnology and bioengineering which facilitates and enhances the transition of processes from lab to plant scale, which is becoming increasingly important as such transitions continue to grow in frequency. Focussing on industrial bioprocesses, bioreactors for bioprocesses and controls for bioprocesses, this title reviews industrial practice to identify bottlenecks and propose solutions, highlighting that the optimal control of a bioprocess involves not only maximization of product yield, but also has to take into account parameters such as quality assurance and environmental aspects.
