Basic concepts of Chemical Engineering on: fundamentals of chemical reactors, kinetics, thermodynamics, transport phenomena and numerical methods.
Basic concepts on bioreactor design
The main objective of the module is to perform advanced analysis and design of different types of reactors and their applications in biotechnological processes
The fundamental concepts of reactor desing and bioprocess engineering will be applied to different types of bioreactors, with special emphasis on reactors with immolibized biocatalysts, reactors in series, reactoris with membranes and photobioreactors
The module proposes to integrate kinetics, thermodynamics, transport phenomena and bioreactor design to the analysis of different type of bioreactors and their optinal operational strategies and conditions

The course methodology is based on the analysis of a family of study cases covering the design of different types of biological reactors and what are the corresponing basis of design as a function of the charateristics of the biological catalyst used (cells, metabolism, enzymes, reaction type, etc.)
For each case, the different blocs required for the reactor design will be analyzed together with the operational strategy selection (batch, fed-batch, continuous, perfusion, series, etc.) and the operational conditions for bioprocess optimization
The students will work on the study cases and will present one case to the rest of the group
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Analysis of Study Case | 40 % | 10 | 0.4 | CA08, CA09, CA11, KA08, SA10, SA12 |
Written exam | 60% | 3 | 0.12 | CA09, CA12, KA08, SA11, SA12 |
The evaluation will be based on the study case presentation assignment to each student (40%) and a final writen examination (60%). You need to obtain a minimum of 4.0 in each of the parts and an average mark higher than 5.0 to pass the course. There will be the possibility of retaking the written exam or the required homeworks with an extra synthesis exam.
For each evaluation activity, a place, date and time of revision will be indicated. If the student does not appear in this review, this activity will not be reviewed later.
Honors (MH): Granting a grade of honor registration is the decision of the faculty responsible for the subject. The regulations of the UAB indicate that MH can only be granted to students who have obtained a final grade equal to or greater than 9.00. You can grant up to 5% of MH of the total number of students enrolled.
A student will be considered non-evaluable (NA) if he/she has not been submitted to 50% of the evaluation activities
Copying, plagiarism, cheating, etc. in any of the evaluation activities will result in a fail and grade of zero.
This subject does not offert single assessment.
