Instrumentation of Bioprocesses

In process industries, the following variables are usually measured and monitored through instrumentation. 

These data are utilized for process control, improvement of product quality, the saving of raw material and energy, and an assurance of safety. In this section, we focus on the measurement of process variables as the basis of bioprocess control. 

The instrumentation of processing plants is fully computerized these days, and the use of distributed control systems (DCS) along with advanced network systems makes plant operations highly reliable.

Biosensors Enzymatic analysis of components and products from bioprocesses is widely utilized because this type of analysis is both selective and sensitive. To use enzymes for the automatic analysis and instrumentation of bioprocesses, various sensors using enzymatic reactions, the so-called "biosensors, have been...
