BFS 9203:Fermentation Technology Process

This course provides a comprehensive exploration of the core principles and applications of fermentation technology, focusing on the controlled use of microorganisms for industrial production. Students will learn the fundamental steps of upstream processing, including media formulation and sterilisation, alongside the critical control of parameters like pH, temperature, and aeration during the fermentation itself. The course also covers downstream processing techniques for the efficient recovery, purification, and formulation of the desired biological products. Key aspects of bioreactor design, operation, and scale-up from laboratory to industrial scale are examined in detail. Ultimately, the course connects these technical processes to their real-world applications in producing pharmaceuticals, biofuels, food ingredients, and other valuable commodities.
