Introduction to bioreactors

This video gives a short introduction to bioreactors. As more chemical engineers are employed by the pharmaceutical industry, it is important to implement more "bio" content in the curriculum and thereby increase employability.

Bioreactors are different from traditional chemical reactors; because the catalyst used in there is "alive"; therefore, it is important to keep strict control over the conditions in the reactor. An overview of a traditional stirred tank bioreactor is provided, in addition to discussing some of the key design challenges.
