CHEG 720 Modelling and Engineering of Microbial Environmental Bioprocesses

The course covers in detail the modelling of the physical, chemical and biological principles involved in microbial bioprocesses. Fundamentals of microbial metabolism, stoichiometry, energetics, ecology and kinetics as well as bioreactor modelling and optimisation. The mathematical modelling and design of microbial bioreactors for environmental and industrial applications is emphasized.
