Process Development / Scale Up (Laboratory)
Component code / course code:
Semester: summer
ECTS credits: 5
Lecture hours per week (SWS): 4
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Heike Frühwirth, Britta Schwartze
Course language: English
Prerequisite: Recommendation: Pre-knowledge in process engineering, technical microbiology, mathematics and statistics, practical course in process engineering, practical course in technical microbiology.
Objectives (Learning Outcome): Students participating in that course,
- are able to use measurement data obtained in the laboratory for the mathematical description of the processed basic operations
- have the ability to investigate complex biotechnological issues experimentally in small, project-oriented groups and to incorporate the knowledge gained into a system scale-up.
Lecture topics (content):
- Process development: Independent pursuit of a task from the definition of the topic to the rough draft of an industrial plant
- Experimental development of biotechnological processes: project plan, laboratory protocol, results
- Creation of project documentation, block flow diagram, material flow table
- Technology mapping
- Outlook on industrial implementation
Teaching format (e.g. online/in person lecture/Seminar/Lab etc.): Laboratory, practical training
Examination: Written paper and presentation
