The learning objectives therefore include identifying and applying criteria (techno economic and environmental) and different approaches to define/select optimal sequences of operations for biotechnological and environmental processes, as well as their integration into biorefineries, with special emphasis in the separation operations and strategies for process intensification.
Unit 1: Introduction. Integrated process design and process intensification concepts. Biorefinery concept.
Unit 2: Separation operation in biotechnolgical and environmental process engineering. Classification, equipment and use. Calculation methods for design of separation operations.
Unit 3: Integrated design of biotechnological and environmental processes. Design of biorefineries. Case studies.
Unit 4: Process intensification. Resources (energy, water, feedstocks) optimisation and waste minimization. Case studies.
