Bioprocess Intensification

Application of Process Intensification (PI) presents a set of radically innovative principles in process and equipment design, which can bring significant benefits in terms of process efficiency, capital and operating expenses, quality, process safety, and sustainability. Typical approaches in bioprocess intensification are the reduction of the number of production steps, continuous processing, integrated processes, and alternative energy inputs.

Numerical Characterization of Mechanical Stress and Flow Patterns in Stirred Tank Bioreactors

Das Ziel der Arbeit bestand darin, die lokalen und globalen mechanischen Beanspruchungsparameter in einem Rührkesselbioreaktor mit Hilfe der numerischen Strömungssimulation (CFD) nachzubilden und die Ergebnisse mit experimentellen Daten der Pellet-kultivierung bzgl. Fluiddynamik und Rheolgie des rekombinanten Stammes A. niger SKAn1015 zu validieren. Ausgehend von der einphasigen Strömungssimulation eines 2L-Bioreaktors werden zunächst Simultionsdaten über Strömungsgeschwindigkeit und mechanische Beanspruchung diskutiert. Aßerdem erfolgt eine Validierung der einphasigen Simulationsdaten mit der Particle Image Velocimetry. In weiteren Untersuchungen wird die Strömungssimulation auch au...

Micro- and Macroparticle enhanced cultivation of filamentous Lentzea aerocolonigenes for increased rebeccamycin production

The filamentous actinomycete Lentzea aerocolonigenes produces the antitumor antibiotic rebeccamycin. However, the complex morphology of actinomycetes leads to challenges during the cultivation often accompanied by low product titers. In the recent past, the to date low rebeccamycin titers were increased by particle addition to cultivations of L. aerocolonigenes. In this thesis the addition of micro-, macro- and adsorbent particles to cultivations of L. aerocolonigenes were investigated in more detail. Furthermore, the scale-up to a bubble-free bioreactor was conducted. The addition of glass microparticles (x50 = 7.9 μm, 10 g L-1) to shake flask cultivations increased the rebeccamycin titer ...

Production of labyrinthopeptin A1 with Actinomadura namibiensis

The filamentous actinomycete Actinomadura namibiensis is the only known producer of labyrinthopeptins, a class of ribosomally synthesized and posttranslationally modified peptides (RiPPs) displaying highly attractive bioactive properties. In order to increase the labyrinthopeptin A1 productivity in shaking flask cultivations of A. namibiensis, a new cultivation method called salt-enhanced cultivation was used. Compared to the unsupplemented control, labyrinthopeptin A1 productivity was enhanced the most by addition of 50 mM (NH4)2SO4, reaching a 7-fold higher yield of 325 mg L-1 within 10 cultivation days. Salt-enhanced cultivation affected growth and product formation mechanisms, cell morph...

Characterisation of the Mechanical Properties of Heat-Induced Protein Deposits in Immersed Cleaning Systems

During heat treatment in dairy production, the rapid formation of heat-induced fouling deposits on the plant surface leads to reduced efficiency of heat transfer. Therefore, a regular cleaning process is required to soften the heat-induced protein deposits and then remove them from the plant surface. The mechanical property of the deposits is one of the key issues of the cleaning mechanisms since the non-fractured behaviour dominates the deformation of the fouling layer and the failure behaviour has a great impact on the cohesive removal of fouling deposits. Considering the complicated geometry of fouling deposits and their irregular distribution, indentation experiments were carried out on ...

Dynamic and Fatigue Assessment of Heavy-Duty Engine Valves

This book provides findings on the simulation of the valve dynamic to the current technological standards. Above all, it delivers a simulation based and predictive approach on the fatigue strength assessment of four-stroke heavy-duty engine valves. The demand for more efficient combustion engines with fuel flexibility goes along with increasing component requirements regarding strength and durability, while the development costs should remain low. In this context, the present book focuses on the gas exchange valves of heavy-duty engines. Especially, the valves on the exhaust side have an increased risk of fatigue failure. The aim of this book is the generation of a predictive fatigue strengt...
