alcohol, beers, wines, oils and fats, soaps and detergents, agrochemicals, introduction to polymers,
synthetic rubbers- SBR, neoprene, urethane rubbers.
(Only the processes currently in use in industries need be covered)
Module III
Bioprocess engineering
An overview of traditional and modern applications of biotechnological processes, outline of an
integrated bioprocess and the various (upstream and downstream) unit operations involved in
bioprocesses, general requirements of fermentation processes, types of fermentors and bioreactors,
auxiliary instrumentation of bioreactors, main parameters to be monitored and controlled in
fermentation processes, Enzymes – mechanism of enzyme action, introduction to enzyme kinetics,
Michaelis – Menten kinetics, methods of enzyme immobilization.
Module IV
Chemical plant design and economics
Process design development – types of designs, feasibility survey, preliminary design, flow
diagrams, piping and instrumentation diagram, batch versus continuous operation, factors in
equipment scale up and design, equipment specifications. General design considerations – plant
location, selection of plant site, plant layout. Detailed engineering – mechanical, structural, electrical
and instrument designs. Capital cost estimates – fixed and working capital, cost escalation, cost
indexes, estimating equipment costs by scaling. Selection of materials for chemical plant construction
under ordinary temperature and pressure and high temperature and pressure conditions.
