Principles of Fermentation
Processes
‘Principles of Fermentation
Processes’ will strengthen
your knowledge of
fermentation processes, and
through a series of lectures,
case studies and a pilot plant
visit, will enable you to:

fermentation and know their
limitations.
Develop a suitable medium and
perform a material balance.
Interpret fermentation data and
use it effectively.
Characterise the kinetics of cell
growth and how they apply to
different cell systems.
Determine fermentation
productivity and yields.
Learn about new developments
in fermentation technology (single
use bioreactors)
Develop a strategy for
fermentation process
development.
and interactive problem-solving case
studies performed in small groups for
effective learning.
