MSc in Chemical Engineering with Circular (Bio)Economy

This module provides an understanding of advanced reactor design and the principles and phenomena that are present in multiphase and catalytic reactors. The module aims to provide a structured approach for successful design and operation of chemical and catalytic reactors. In addition, the course provides students with a detailed understanding of bioreactor design, scale-up and operation. It considers both whole cell (i.e. fermentation) and enzymatic (i.e. biotransformation) conversion processes for the synthesis of complex materials such as therapeutic proteins, antibiotics, gene therapy vectors and chiral pharmaceuticals. The use of computational and simulation tools, such as available tools available on the LearnChemE platform will enhance the students’ educational experience.
