Process strategies

Before the details of a particular reactor are specified, the biochemical engineer must develop a process strategy that suits the biokinetic requirements of the particular organisms in use and that integrates the bioreactor into the entire process. Reactor costs, raw material costs, downstream processing requirements, and the need for auxiliary equipment will all influence the final process design. A complete discussion of this topic is beyond the scope of this chapter, but a few comments on reactor choice for particular bioprocesses is appropriate. 

If substrate inhibition exists, a well-mixed bioreactor is desirable. Mixing in three-phase fluidized bed bioreactors can be increased by adding an external recycle loop, by inserting a draft tube in the reactor, or by decreasing the height to diameter ratio.

Crude oils are refined to separate the mixture into simpler fractions that can be used as fuels, lubricants, or as intermediate feedstock to the petrochemical industries. A general knowledge of this composite mixture is essential for establishing a processing strategy.

As already mentioned, the TUHH experimental car has been equipped with the described 77GHz radar network to validate and prove the efficiency of the derived algorithms. This radar network was used to record measurement data of typical scenarios in real street applications. Based on these recorded data, a comparison of the different signal processing strategies (classical or jointly) for radar network signal processing has been performed. 

This chapter provides a concise summary of the most important concepts and characteristics of CNTs including structural aspects (i.e. chirality, defects, doping), properties (i.e. mechanical, electronic, thermal), synthesis and characterization techniques and post-processing strategies (i.e. purification, separation, functionalization), and is thus intended as an introduction for newcomers.

The demonstration that eclectic mechanisms have been evolved by insects for coping with the potentially toxic concomitants of their ingested nutrients necessitates careful analyses of the processing of each of these compounds by each adapted herbivore. Furthermore, it is important to realize that in Itself, sequestration is nothing more than an end product of a series of reactions that may reflect selective absorption, metabolism of specific compounds, and excretion of selected allelochemics ). In the present review, these diverse processing strategies will be explored in order to illustrate the various ways in which a multitude of herbivores accommodate potential plant toxins. IVo lepidopterous species will be used as models which, hopefully, will emphasize both the elegance and complexity identified with insects as processors of plant-derived compounds. 

Such strategies attempt to combine prior experiential knowledge and available processing models to predict product quality so that any deviations from the quality specifications can be detected and corrected before the processing is completed. This chapter examines the evolution of these intelligent processing strategies and the current research in this field. 

Willeman et al. [26] modeled the enzyme-catalyzed cyanohydrin synthesis in a stirred batch tank reactor. Assumption of a mass transfer limitation (Figure 9.3b) is made, which results in a low concentration of substrate in the aqueous phase, thus suppressing the non-enzymatic reaction. In a well-stirred biphasic system the enzyme concentration was varied, keeping the phase ratio constant A maximum rate of conversion is reached at the concentration where mass transfer of the substrate becomes limiting. Further increase of enzyme concentration does not enhance the reaction rate [27]. The different results achieved by the two groups are explained by the different process strategies. No mass transfer limitation could be detected by Hickel et al. because the stirring rate in the aqueous phase was not varied [26].
