Get introduced to the essentials of industrial fermentation processes, which convert renewable feedstocks into biomaterials, chemicals, nutrition products and biofuels with the help of microorganisms.
This course provides comprehensive insights into industrial fermentation, exploring from feedstocks to product recovery in a sustainable framework. Participants will learn how process inputs and outputs are interconnected through biological and physical mechanisms critical for designing, optimizing, and scaling processes.
Students are expected to have:
This course is suited for biologists, biotechnologists, chemical and environmental engineers, and professionals from related fields interested in advanced industrial fermentation techniques.
Skills acquired from this course can be applied in designing efficient, sustainable industrial processes, enhancing productivity in the biotechnology and chemical industries, and addressing environmental challenges through innovative bio-solutions.
