Downstream processing
1. Preparation and Storage of Solutions-to provide and store that are needed at some point in the
processe.g. preparation of the medium for the bioreactor/
buffers in the chromatography-Liquid and solid mixture: filled in tank, mixed by agitation,
stored in the tank or transferred to a separate storage tank until is needed in the process
-Raw material solutions: prepared with high concentrations to keep the volume of the preparation tanks small
-Carbon and nitrogen sources: prepared in separate tanks to avoid Maillard or
non-enzymatic browning reactions

2. Sterilization of Input Materials-to preclude contamination of the bioreactor(i) Filtration-to sterilize gaseous streams-membrane filters: Pore size- 0.2-0.3µm-prefilters used for dust and other particles
(ii) Heat Sterilization-heated by steam -cooling water to bring the temperature back to normal-Temperature: 121 °C (batch),140-45 °C (continuous),
holding time: 10-20 min-For continuous: required heat exchanger

3. Inoculum preparation-to provide a sufficient amount of active cell to inoculate
the production fermenter
Cleaning-in-Place (CIP)-to prepare the equipment for the next cycle or batch
Upstream processing
1. Bioreactor Types(i) Stirred tank bioreactor
-most commonly used in bioprocess-depends on the complexity of the bioreaction
-air, supplied by a compressor, enter the vessel at the bottom under pressure
-jacket and/or internal coils allow heating and cooling
(ii) Airlift bioreactorBioreactor
-mixing is achieved without mechanical agitation by the convection caused by sparged air-lower energy consumption-used for plant and animal cell culture and for immobilized biocatalysts
(iii)Packed-bed and fluidized bed bioreactorBioreactor
-The immobilized or particulate biocatalyst is filled in a tube-shaped vessel
-medium flows through the column (upwards or downwards)
-small particle attrition-high velocity of the liquid phase promotes good mass

2. Unit Procedures(i) Filling and transfer of materials in vessels-to bring materials (liquids, solids) into the bioreactor -to transfer parts or the whole reactor volume to the next operation at the end of the bioreaction-the duration should be specified-filled up to only 70-90% to keep some headspace for foam build-up(ii) Agitation-to achieve and maintain homogeneity-to enable efficient heat transfer-energy consumption depends on the rotational speed of bioreactor, fluid density and viscosity
Bioreactor
(iii) Aeration-provides oxygen to meet the aerobic demand of thecells during fermentation-specified by the gas used (Air, pure O2, pure N2, orair enriched with O2 or CO2) and the aeration rate (0.1 and 2 vol. of gas per volume of solution per
minute (vvm)(iv) Heat transfer-to change and control the temperature of the bioreactor-to keep constant while exothermic reactions take place in the fermenter-for heating, heat is transferred from a heat-transfer fluid via a heat- transfer surface to the reactor content
Bioreactor
-for cooling, heat transferred from the fermentor to the cooling fluid-used steam for heating-heating rate depends on the bioreactor volume, typically at 1.5-3.0 °C/min for a 10m3 reactor and 1-2 °C/min for a 50 m3 reactor-cooling agent : cooling water (20 °C), chilled water (5 °C), Freon, glycol, sodium chloride brine, calcium chloride brine(v) Foam control-to control the foam formation from the combination of agitation and aeration with the presence of foam-producing and foam-stabilizing substances
Bioreactor
(vi) pH control-to control and reach the desired pH-the medium is buffered- adjusting and
maintained the pH by adding acid or bases (vii) Cleaning-in-place (CIP)-to clean the equipment after every batch
Bioreactor
Downstream processing1. Biomass removal-separate the biomass from the fermentation broth-unit operations: centrifugation, microfiltration, rotary vacuum filtration, decanting/sedimentation-depends on a number of parameter (e.g. concentration, particle size, density of biomass,scale operation etc)2. Homogenization/Call Disruption-to break open the cells to release the product into the solution before purification-unit operation: high pressure homogenization, mechanical bead milling
P-4 / BM-101
Bead Milling
P-3 / HG-101
Homogenization
3. Concentration-to reduce the volume of the product stream that has to be processed-reducing equipment size and energy consumption-three methods available:(a)Partial evaporation of the solvent-solution heated up to vaporize some of the solvent,
usually water(b)Filtration-semi-permeable membrane retains the product in the retentate but transfers most of the solvent through the
membrane(c)Precipitation-adding a precipitation agent or by changing chemical or
physical conditions
without degradation
Downstream processing
4. Phase Separation (i) Centrifugation-Used for biomass removal and solid separation-based on density between solid particles and a solution between two immiscible liquids-sedimentation force is amplified by the particle or drop size in centrifugal field in the centrifuge-pretreatment is necessary to increase particle size-maximum throughput defined by the sigma factor and the settling velocity

(ii) Filtration -to separate particles or large molecules from a suspension or solution-semi-permeable membrane splits the components according to their size-microfiltration:(a)Pore sizes of 0.1-10 µm(b)Flux rate: 20 and 250 L/m2
-ultrafiltration-(a)Pore sizes of 0.001-0.1 µm(b)Flux rate: 20 and 200 L/m2
Downstream processing

Microfiltration P-4 / DF-101
Diafiltration
P-5 / UF-101
Ultrafiltration
-dead-end filtration:(a)particles are retained as a cake through which
solvent must pass(b)The pressure drop increases with solids
accumulation-cross-flow filtration:(a)The feed is moved tangentially along the
membrane to reduce concentration polarization or filter-cake thickness and associatedpressure drop
(b) Particles are obtained as concentrated slurry-rotary vacuum filtration:Used only for large-scale filtration with large particles-diafiltration:(a) used to change the buffer solution
Downstream processing
P-6 / DE-101
Dead-End Filtration
P-7 / RVF-101
Rotary Vacuum Filtration
(iii) Sedimentation and decanting-sedimentation:-same as centrifugation, gravity is the driving force-needs a longer settling time and large density difference and particle size of the substances-Applied for large-scale biomass removal mostly in wastewater treatment-decanting:-for separation of liquid phases, e.g. water -the layers are formed:Solid or heavy liquid phase at the bottom, light liquid phase on top and dispersion phase in between-the parameters: density and viscosity of the two phases
Downstream processing
P-4 / CL-101
Clarification
P-3 / V-102
Decanting
(iv) Condensation-to liquefy the distillate in distillation (e.g. in product separation or solvent recycling)-to turn vaporized steam to liquid water after a crystallization or concentration step-use a typical shell-and-tube surface condenser-the coolant flows in the tube while condensation of the vapor occurs at the shell side-parameter parameter: heat of vaporization, boiling point, partition coefficient of the vapor component
Downstream processing
P-3 / HX-101
Condensation
Downstream processing4. Product Separation and Purification
Extraction-to separate a molecule from a solution by transferring to another liquid phase-based on the different solubilities of the product and the
impurities in the feed phase-used when the product concentration is comparably low or when distillation cannot be applied-differential extraction column-top: the heavy phase
(aqueous solution), bottom: the light phase (organic solvent) and moves upwards.

Batch Distillation
(ii) Distillation-for recovery of organic solvents-based on the differences between the volatilities of substances-key parameter: Boiling point of the substances and the linear velocity of the vapor(iii) Electrodialysis-an electromotive force is used to transport ions through a semi-permeable, ion selective membrane by ion diffusion -the cations move through a cation membrane in acid stream, the anions move through an anion membrane into the supplied base stream-key parameter: membrane flux (100-300 g/m2h)
Downstream processing
(iv) Adsorption-to retain either the product or impurities on a solid matrix-key parameters: binding capacity and selectivity of the resin, binding yield of the target and non-target molecules, volume of the eluent(v) Chromatography-to resolve and fractionate a mixture of compoundsbased on differential migration -basic principles are identical to purification by
adsorption-Types of column:Gel or exclusion chromatography (molecules), affinity chromatography(ligand), Ion exchange chromatography

5. Viral Inactivation-to preclude contamination of the bioreactor or impurities in the product from bacteria, viruses and prions-a combination methods is necessary because none of the known methods inactivate all possible contamintants (standard purification step + additional step)-additional step : micro and ultrafiltration, heat, UV radiotion, chemical substancesProtein Solubilization and Refolding-to release the intracellular material and inclusion bodies or water-insoluble pellets produced by heterologous protein in bacteria and fungi
Downstream processing
6. Final Product Processing(i) Crystallization-converted the desired product from its soluble form
crystallized (solid) form-crystals are separated from the liquid solution, e.g. by
filtration-initiated by a volume reduction of the solution or by
reducing the solubility of the target molecules by addition of a crystallizing
agents, or by changing the physical or chemical conditions-key parameter: crystallizaiton yield, crystallization heat,
necessary residence time
Downstream processing
P-3 / CR-101
Crystallization
(ii) Product stabilization-to avoid premature degradation or denaturation
(iii) Drying-removed water or another solvent from a solid product-commonly used if the product is to be sold as powder-contact dryer: the heat is provided via the drum wall form hot water, air, or steam that flows outer side of the wall.-convection dryer: preheated drying gas is mixed with the solid and the solvent evaporates into the drying gas

Metabolic Bioconversion using cell cultivationMetabolic Bioconversion using cell cultivation- Classified into five groups: Bacteria, Fungi, Mammalian
cells, insect cells, plant cells(i) Bacteria-unicellar prokaryotes with a rigid cell wall-key determinants for their growth: media composition, temp., gaseous environment, pH-show a range responses to oxygen: aerobic bacteria- require oxygen for their growth; anaerobic bacteria- grow only at the absence of oxygen; facultatively-anaerobic bacteria- able to grow under both conditions-temperature optimal for growth: psychrophiles (20-30 °C), mesophiles (30-40 °C), thermophiles (45-60 °C), extreme thermophiles (extremophiles) (80-105°C)-optimum pH: 6.5-7.5
(ii) Fungi-divide into two subgroups: yeasts, molds-yeast: small, single cells that can grow as individual cells or clumps-molds: multicellular, vegetative structure call mycelium, as usually highly-branched systems of tubules(iii) Mammalian cells-produce correctly folded proteins and secrete them to the culture environment-grow quite slowly, with typical doubling times of 12-20 h-temperature : 37 °C, pH: 7.3-mammalian cell product: monoclonal antibodies, interferons, vaccines, erythropoietin
(iv) Insect cells-produce recombinant proteins less expensively and more quickly than mammalian cells and at high expression levels -typically grow at around 28 °C, and pH 6.2-used for veterinary vaccines for the swine fever virus(v) Plant cells-10 to 100 times larger than microbial cells and more sensitive to shear-slow metabolism, with doubling times of 20-100h -cultivate as a callus or a lump of undifferentiated plant tissue growing on a solid nutrient medium or as aggregated plant cells in suspension-used to produce secondary metabolites, anticancer drug paclitexel (taxol), recombinant proteins of high value
Transgenic PlantsTransgenic Plants-genetically modified plants to produce a wide variety of
products-the expression can take place in the whole plant or only in a certain part as in the seeds-commonly used plants: tobacco, potato, rice, wheat-inexpensive, easy to scale-up, free of human pathogens
Transgenic AnimalsTransgenic Animals-reduce the dependency on the seasonal and geographical conditions, post-translational modifications are more likely to mimic the native structure-usually done by injecting exogenous DNA into egg cells to produce a vital embryo that is later able to express the Desired product
Extractive TechnologiesExtractive Technologies-comprise all processes where a product is extracted from natural material-Used in the extraction of pharmaceuticals from human or animal blood and from plant material-the products usually chemically complex non-protein
