Key words
Engineer techniques
Objectives
The student acquires knowledge on the different unit processes in biochemical and food industry and learns to use this knowledge to solve simple problems.
Topics
Attention is given firstly on the mechanical operations transport, diminutions, mixing.
Then separation techniques are quoted. In the first chapters the mechanical processes (sieving, sedimentation, centrifugation, filtration, membrane filtration) are discussed. Afterwards attention is payed to the physical separation processes (distillation, extraction, adsorption, evaporation, …) to offer.
A second part of the course includes the processes based on heat transfer, among which heating, cooling, evaporation, drying,
Prerequisites
Succeeded for the general subdivisions of training maths and mechanics of BA 1 and BA 2.
Final Objectives
ATC1: Able to lay links transparent between the mechanics and technology of the processing, to understand technical problems and processes and to be able to start with process design.
SC1: acquire general technological knowledge of biochemical processing.
