Books #5: Bioprocessing for Value-Added Products from Renewable Resources
Published on February 18th, 2008.
Stunning book from Elsevier on Renewable Energy Sources problematic. People who are dealing with renewable energy resources in bioprocess industry or institution should take a look to this book. Advised.
In a very structured way this book begins by describing the modern technologies that form the basis for creating a bio-based industry. Next it lists the various organisms that are suitable for bioprocessing -from bacteria to algae- and it gives their unique characteristics. These first two parts set the stage for a variety of novel, experimental bioprocesses, such as the production of medicinal chemicals, the production of chiral compounds and the design of biofuel cells. Concludes with examples where biological, renewable resources become an important feedstock for large-scale industrial production. Bioprocessing for Value-Added Products from Renewable Resources provides a unique perspective of the industry and the field and serves as an important guide towards the future. The book is suitable for researchers, practitioners, students, and consultants in the bioprocess and biotechnology fields.[link]

Books #4: Solid-State Fermentation Bioreactors
Published on February 15th, 2008.
For the people who are dealing with SSF reactors, this book is somehow a bible… Strongly advised.
This concise professional reference provides a fundamental framework for the design and operation of solid-state fermentation bioreactors, enabling researchers currently working at laboratory scale to scale-up their processes. After surveying the main bioreactor types currently used in solid-state fermentation, it focuses on the mathematical modeling of bioreactors, which is covered in three parts. Firstly, the book shows how to plan a research program in order to characterize the growth kinetics in a manner appropriate for incorporation into bioreactor models. Secondly, it addresses the heat and mass transfer phenomena that occur in solid-state fermentation bioreactors and the mathematical expressions that are used to describe them. Thirdly it demonstrates, through a number of case studies, how mathematical models can be used in the optimization of bioreactor performance. The final part of the book addresses several issues closely related with bioreactor operation, namely process monitoring equipment, process control strategies and the selection of an appropriate air preparation system.

Books #3: Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology
Published on February 12th, 2008.
It can be assumed as a summation of every aspects of bioprocess engineering in a book. It’s not a handbook but for an undergrad/M.Sc. student it’s somehow perfect choice as a text book.
· Demonstrates the application of bioprocess engineering with theoretical and practical aspects.
· Unique practical approach, using case studies, detailed experiments, original research data and problems and possible solutions.
· Experiments with simple design equations and the required calculations.
