Bioprocess engineering

Bioprocess Engineering is a specialization of Biotechnology, Chemical Engineering or of Agricultural Engineering. It deals with the design and development of equipment and processes for the manufacturing of products such as food, feed, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, chemicals, and polymers and paper from biological materials. Bioprocees engineering is a conglomerate of mathematics, biology and industrial design,and consists of various spectrums like designing of Fermentors,study of fermentors (mode of operations etc.).It also deals with studying various biotechnological processes used in industries for large scale production of biological product for optimization of yield in the end product and the quality of end product. Bio process engineering may include the work of mechanical,electrical and industrial engineers to apply principles of their disciplines to processes based on using living cells or sub component of such cells.
