The present text is a complete revision of the 2nd edition from
2003 of the book with the same title. In recognition of the fast
pace at which biotechnology is moving we have rewritten several
chapters to include new scientific progress in the field from 2000
to 2010. More important we have changed the focus of the book to
support its use, not only in universities, but also as a guide to
design new processes and equipment in the bio-industry. A new
chapter has been included on the prospects of the bio-refinery to
replace many of the oil- and gas based processes for production of
especially bulk chemicals. This chapter also serves to make
students in Chemical Engineering and in the Bio-Sciences
enthusiastic about the whole research field. As in previous
editions we hope that the book can be used as textbook for classes,
even at the undergraduate level, where chemical engineering
students come to work side by side with students from biochemistry
and microbiology. To help the chemical engineering students Chapter
1 includes a brief review of the most important parts of microbial
metabolism. In our opinion this review is sufficient to understand
microbial physiology at a sufficiently high level to profit from
the rest of the book. Likewise the bio-students will not be
overwhelmed by mathematics, but since the objective of the book is
to teach quantitative process analysis and process design at a
hands-on level some mathematics and model analysis is needed. We
hope that the about 100 detailed examples and text notes, together
with many instructive problems will be sufficient to illustrate how
model analysis is used, also in Bio-reaction Engineering.
