Bioprocesses are important biological reactions which need several sophisticated methods and equipment to produce many novel and important compounds which some of them are traditionally produced by synthetic chemical reactions. In bioprocesses, the products are often produced in a dilute environment and finally they require a high purity. Because of that, downstream processes are usually included a large number of separation steps. Size and capital costs of the equipment are two main limitations of using bioprocesses at industrial scale. Bioprocess intensification by minimizing, substitution, moderation and simplification of the methods and equipment, drastically leads to sustainable processes. This study looks at intensification of the emerging equipment and operational methods and their advantages to lead smaller and cleaner bioprocess plants which in turn, increases production efficiency and quality and decreases byproducts formation, capital cost and energy consumption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
