Aim: The reactors used in the bio-industries are designed according to the same general concepts as reactors elsewhere in Chemical Industry. There are, however, many quite specific characteristica of bio-reactians, e.g. the complex stoichiometric networks of metabolism. Using a quantitatively based approach fermentation processes are analysed with respect to control and optimization of the operation. Biochemistry, microbiology and chemical engineering are all used to obtain a deeper insight into the complex world of bioreactions.
