Bioprocesses use microbial, plant, or animal cells and the materials derived from them,
such as enzymes or DNA, to produce industrial biochemicals and pharmaceuticals. In
the past two decades, the economic output from bioprocesses has increased drastically.
This economic growth was the result of the translation of numerous discoveries to
innovative technologies and manufactured products. The success has brought together
numerous scientists and engineers of different disciplines to work together to break
new ground. The task of taking biotechnological discoveries to a successful product
or process requires a multidisciplinary team consisting of engineers and chemical and
biological scientists to work synergistically. The success of a project, a team, or even
a company in biotechnology often hinges on the ability of scientists and engineers of
different specialties to work effectively together. This book has been written with this
important characteristic of the bioprocess industry in mind. A major goal of the book
is to give students the necessary vocabulary and critical engineering knowledge to excel
in bioprocess technology.
