research project
Specific biotechnological production processes experience a viscosity increase of the reaction media as the product concentration increases. This is especially important for microbial biopolymer production where oxygen transfer becomes limiting as the fermentation reaction advances. The aim of this research project is to improve and innovate conventional reactor systems for such applications by use of additive manufacturing (AM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) as testing platforms. The work focuses on specific stage optimization including final product recovery, while prioritizing the economic viability of the whole manufacturing process.
