Between 4/02/2019 to 03/03/2019 at USJ (Beirut, Lebanon), TP2 (1st part) related to “Industrial microbiology, fermentation and scale-up” has been realised with MSc students (27 students from CA, Chimie alimentaire and TI, Techniques Industrielles) at USJ (M1) and future IPM-4-Citrus secondees (Stephanie KHAWAND, Jihane SAAD). It mainly focused on Fundamentals about bioprocess, Instrumentation, Oxygen transfer and Cell culture.
Scientific and technical objectives were:
- Basic knowledge related to bioprocess engineering (biokinetics, stoechiometry, cell culture in bioreactor, operating modes, transfer limitation,…)
- Cell cultures in bioreactor including: (i) experimental environment (bioreactor, analytical methods,…), (ii) data acquisition and treatment.
- Data treatment and interpretation (global and instantaneous balances, mass, elementary and redox balances, kinetics analysis, gas transfer,…).
