Bachelor’s / Master’s / Semester Thesis - Evaluation of Biotechnological Processes using SuperPro Designer

09.10.2024, Studentische Hilfskräfte, Praktikantenstellen, Studienarbeiten

In this research project, genetically optimized E. coli strains expressing different extracellular high-value proteins will be used to establish different concepts of process intensification. Process intensification in the biopharmaceutical industry aims for the improvement of productivity and flexibility while simultaneously decreasing cost and process footprint. This can be realized through establishing and applying innovative equipment, methods, and modes during the development of integrated upstream and downstream processes.
Focus of this thesis, is the modeling, evaluation and optimization of the developed process using the industry standard software SuperPro Designer. Therefore, the experimentally obtained data need to be added to the software and checked for consistency, following a cost evaluation and further process relevant evaluations.

Your Tasks:
- Set-Up of SuperPro Designer
- Implementation of experimental data
- Set-Up of the process flow chart
- Evaluation of process data
- Cost evaluation

- Experience with SuperPro Designer would be beneficial
