Introduction to (bio) process design

Front

Which of the following represents the key steps in process design methodology? Brainstorming, prototype testing, budgeting, final implementation, Target & specification, data collection, generate design & redesign, assessment & comparative analysis, final design and selection, Data collection, random selection, trial and error, process execution, Specification review, immediate implementation, troubleshooting, final approval

Back

Target & specification, data collection, generate design & redesign, assessment & comparative analysis, final design and selection

Front

For target and specification, a bioprocess must clearly define: Goal of the (bio)process (e.g., product, purity, etc), Specification of the bioprocess and product (e.g., battery limits, production scale, process constraints, etc), Key performance indicators (e.g., production cost, environmental impact reduction sdg, etc)

Back

All of the above

Front

Typical data collection includes (bio)reaction conditions. Which of the following are examples of bioreactor condition data? Substrate concentration (e.g., glucose), temperature: 35°C, pH: 7.0, nutrients: NH₃/O₂

Back

Substrate concentration (e.g., glucose), temperature: 35°C, pH: 7.0, nutrients: NH₃/O₂

Front

Typical data collection includes (bio)reaction performance. Which of the following are examples of bioreaction performance data? Concentration of product (e.g., PDO: 3 mol/kg), reaction rate: 0.0245 h⁻¹, yield: 0.325 g PDO/g glucose, Bioreactor volume, agitation speed, and aeration rate, Temperature, pH, and nutrient composition, Operator experience, lab location, and equipment maintenance records

Concentration of product (e.g., PDO: 3 mol/kg), reaction rate: 0.0245 h⁻¹, yield: 0.325 g PDO/g glucose

Front

Which statement best describes the relationship between upstream, bioconversion, and downstream processes?

Back

Upstream prepares raw materials and microorganisms, bioconversion produces the desired product, and downstream processes recover and purify the product.
