About this title

Synopsis

Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology, 2nd Edition, outlines the principles of biochemical processes and explains their use in the manufacturing of every day products. The author uses a diirect approach that should be very useful for students in following the concepts and practical applications. This book is unique in having many solved problems, case studies, examples and demonstrations of detailed experiments, with simple design equations and required calculations.

• Covers major concepts of biochemical engineering and biotechnology, including applications in bioprocesses, fermentation technologies, enzymatic processes, and membrane separations, amongst others
• Accessible to chemical engineering students who need to both learn, and apply, biological knowledge in engineering principals
• Includes solved problems, examples, and demonstrations of detailed experiments with simple design equations and all required calculations
• Offers many graphs that present actual experimental data, figures, and tables, along with explanations
