Bioprocess Engineering Principles 2nd Edition

Bioprocess Engineering Principles

Bioprocess Engineering Principles, 2nd Edition by Pauline M. Doran introduces the engineering concepts required to understand and design biological production processes. Written with biology students in mind, it bridges biochemistry, microbiology, and molecular biology with practical engineering applications. This extensively revised edition expands coverage of metabolic engineering, sustainable bioprocessing, membrane filtration, turbulence, impeller design, downstream processing, and oxygen transfer systems. With additional worked examples, practice problems, and illustrations, it supports students in developing the analytical and technical skills needed for modern bioprocess development and industrial biotechnology.
