Bioprocesses and Biotechnology Humans have used biologically based processes (bioprocesses) since they first made cheese, leavened bread, and brewed spirits. Bioprocesses are increasingly used to produce chemical products, and there is a whole world of potential biocatalysts to be discovered. 

As with refining and petrochemical processes, bioprocesses must be operated automatically so as to achieve a consistent production of various bioproducts in a cost-effective way. In particular, there is a strong demand to optimize bioprocesses by controlling them automatically to promote labor-saving operations. To achieve this, it is necessary to understand what is happening in a bioreactor (instrumentation) and to properly manipulate the control variables that affect the performance of a bioreactor operation (control). 

Temperature is one of the main factors affecting the feasibility and design of bioremediation processes. Bioprocesses slow down when the temperature decreases.

The use of biotechnology in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals is of increasing interest Consequently these techniques require attention in the planning of unit processes. Bioprocessing can be considered in terms of small-scale bioreactors, or fermenters, and the translation of such processes into large-scale economically viable production operations. ...
