Through a combination of lectures and case studies students will develop the skills necessary to innovate and lead in the field of sustainable chemical engineering. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to design and optimize reactors that not only meet industrial demands but also adhere to the principles of sustainable development, preparing them for roles in academia, research, and the chemical industry.
Industrial Bioprocesses and Technical Biocatalysis (TUM)
The module provides a broad overview of technically relevant biocatalytic processes. The main focus is on whole-cell biocatalysis from food to industrial high-value products. Both natural and recombinant whole-cell biocatalysis concepts / systems are covered in the course. After completing the module, students will be able to analyze the biochemical and bioprocess engineering principles of industrial biocatalysis in the field of biotechnological processes (enzymatic conversion, immobilization, processing of products) and apply them to related issues.
The course covers sustainability in the chemical industry, beginning with principles aligned with the UN SDGs and addressing environmental, economic, and social challenges. It introduces the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry, metrics like atom economy and E-factor, and strategies for sustainable process design, intensification, and efficiency. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and carbon footprinting are emphasized through case studies, alongside renewable feedstocks, bio-based processes, and catalysis approaches. Industrial bioprocesses, including applications in food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, are explored with examples like citric acid production.
The course also examines solvent alternatives, waste minimization, process safety, and energy integration through renewable sources and electrification. Emerging technologies such as photochemistry, electrochemistry, mechanochemistry, and CO₂ utilization are discussed, supported by industrial case studies and guest lectures. Practical components include lab experiments, simulation software (SimaPro, GaBi, Aspen Plus), and a group project where students redesign a traditional industrial process for improved sustainability.
