Synopsis

In recent years bioprocessing has increased in popularity and importance, however, bioprocessing still poses various important techno-economic and environmental challenges, such as product yields, excessive energy consumption for separations in highly watery systems, batch operation or the downstream processing bottlenecks in the production of biopharmaceutical products. Many of those challenges can be addressed by application of different process intensification technologies discussed in the present book.

The first book dedicated entirely to this area, Intensification of Biobased Processes provides a comprehensive overview of modern process intensification technologies used in bioprocessing. The book focusses on four different categories of biobased products: bio-fuels and platform chemicals; cosmeceuticals; food products; and polymers and advanced materials. It will cover various intensification aspects of the processes concerned, including (bio)reactor intensification; intensification of separation, recovery and formulation operations; and process integration. This is an invaluable source of information for researchers and industrialists working in chemical engineering, biotechnology and process engineering.

About this title

About the Author

Full Professor at Warsaw University of Technology, Poland, former Chair of Process Intensification at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands, and former Director of TU Delft Process Technology Institute. With more than 40 years of industrial and academic research experience he is author of numerous scientific publications on process intensification, chemical reaction engineering and industrial catalysis. He is principal author and co-editor of the world’s first book on Process Intensification. Prof. Stankiewicz is Editor-in-Chief of Chemical and Process Engineering: New Frontiers (Polish Academy of Sciences) and Series Editor of the Green Chemistry Books Series (Royal Society of Chemistry). He was founder and first Chairman of the Working Party on Process Intensification at the European Federation of Chemical Engineering. He was also founder and Chairman the Board of the European Process Intensification Centre (EUROPIC). Current research interests of Prof. Stankiewicz focus on intensification of catalytic processes using renewable electricity-based energy fields. The research in that area has brought him prestigious Advanced Investigator Grant from the European Research Council.
