Session 9: Bioprocessing and Separations Technology
An economically viable bioprocess requires effective material handling and bioconversion technologies in combination with efficient downstream product separation and recovery. Papers in this session will describe advances in the development, testing and demonstration of bioconversion and separations processes at various stages of process integration.
