Biochemical engineering sterilization

Within the constraints imposed, particularly by the requirements of sterility, for example, when mono-cultures are used, a major role of biochemical engineering is to provide appropriate mathematical descriptions of biochemical reaction processes and from these to devise suitable design criteria for economically viable processes. 

There are a host of design topics associated with biochemical reactors. Discussing these in any detail is beyond the scope of this book. Topics of interest to the practicing engineer are primarily concerned with sterilization. Four specific areas include ...
