This first book dealing exclusively with every aspect of fed-batch operations, used in most industrially important fermentation and bioreactor operations.
Written by noted experts in the field sharing extensive academic and industrial experience, this thoroughly updated Second Edition covers commonly used and new suspended and attached growth reactors. The authors discuss combined carbon and ammonia oxidation, activated sludge, biological nutrient removal, aerobic digestion, anaerobic processes, lagoons, trickling filters, rotating biological contactors, fluidized beds, and biologically aerated filters. They integrate the principles of biochemical processes with applications in the real world-communicating approaches to the conception, design, operation, and optimization of biochemical unit operations in a comprehensive yet lucid manner.
Many, if not most, industrially important fermentation and bioreactor operations are carried out in fed-batch mode, producing a wide variety of products. In spite of this, there is no single book that deals with fed-batch operations. This is the first book that presents all the necessary background material regarding the 'what, why and how' of optimal and sub-optimal fed-batch operations. Numerous examples are provided to illustrate the application of optimal fed-batch cultures. This unique book, by world experts with decades of research and industrial experience, is a must for researchers and industrial practitioners of fed-batch processes (modeling, control and optimization) in biotechnology, fermentation, food, pharmaceuticals and waste treatment industries.
Annual Reports on Fermentation Processes, Volume 5 reviews fermentation research and developments. This book discusses the aeration and mixing in fermentation, growth and enzyme production, and production of nucleic acid-related compounds. The recombinant DNA systems for application to antibiotic fermentation in Streptomyces, methods for the measurement of oxygen transfer in microbial systems, and growth and dynamics of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are also elaborated. This text likewise covers the thermophilic saccharide fermentations and fermentation process modeling and control. Other topics include the biochemical engineering aspects of amino acids and nucleosides fermentation, metabolism of glucose, and fermentation process analysis. This volume is suitable for students and researchers concerned with the significant developments in fermentation processes.
This critical volume addresses an important contemporary issue, how to determine themost cost-effective approach to solid waste disposal. Based on wide-ranging, practicalexperience, this time-saving work details a systems approach to feasibility studies, providingthe basis for accurate, efficient analysis. And, to illustrate the use of this innovativemethod, the book includes a complete "case study" of a hypothetical community.Beginning with data collection and cost estimation, Resource Recovery Economics movesthrough the analysis process, covering marketing of resources, alternative systems, financialconsiderations, life-cycle-costs, and implementation planning. Additionally, resultsfrom ma...
