Bioverfahrenstechnik
Topics and focal points
Internships, research and final theses on bioprocess engineering
Classic stirred-tank bioreactors for the cultivation of microorganisms and mammalian cells
Parallel microreactors on a microlitre scale for the culture optimization of microorganisms
Photobioreactors for the cultivation of microalgae in the range between 10 ml and 28 L for the sustainable manufacture of products using solar energy and simultaneousCO2 fixation
Various apparatuses for cell disruption such as ball mills and high-pressure homogenizers
A wide range of diverse measurement and control systems for process analysis and optimization
Equipment
The technical equipment is deliberately chosen so that students only learn how to work with devices and bioreactors that are also used in the same way by the biotechnology industry. The focus is on practical, application-oriented training as part of the bioprocess engineering courses. Students acquire a sound biotechnological knowledge of upstreaming and downstreaming.
