This course aims to deepen in different aspects of reactions and biochemical reactors and downstream units integrated into bioprocesses.
1.- Bioprocess analysis (based on case studies)
2.- Enzymatic and Fermentation processes. Fermentation profiles.
3.- Design and operation of bioreactors.
4.- Product separation.
5.- Conception of a process: Process diagram.

Transversal competences: CT3, CT4
As already indicated in the descriptors, a "case study" methodology will be followed throughout alternative 1, proposing the study of two bioprocesses. The first, common to all students on the production of ethanol (CB10, CE1). The second will consist on a coordinated work between the three subjects of Module I, carry out by students working in teams, which will address a topic related to Bioprocesses from three perspectives, which will have to be presented in a report and in an oral presentation. Each team of two students will carry out their analysis by studying in detail the reaction profiles and the characteristics of the bioreactor, as well as the separation and / or purification operations. (CE1, CB7, CB8, CG6, CE5)
A technical visit is planned for Bioetanol Galicia, S.A. Students will be invited to prepare a report that will address issues related to the visit and will represent 5% of the evaluation in the section on written assignments (CT4). In laboratory, an ethanol fermentation process will be carried out in bioreactor, in batch operation, following the main metabolites and substrate concentration (CB8, CE3, CE5). In relation to safety and prevention of occupational hazards students will have a basic operating manual in which the most relevant aspects of safety are collected. In group tutorials, questions will be addressed to evaluate the progress of the work, the acquisition of specific competences and to solve doubts about the different alternatives. Moodle will be used as support to the virtual campus and MsTeams as platform for some tutorials.
Final Exam: 40% (Competences CB7, CB8, CB8, CB10).
Written assignments: 30% (Competences CT3, CT4, CE3, CE5)
Laboratory: 20% (Competences CT3, CT4, CE3, CE5)
Tutorials: 5% (Competences CT3, CT4, CE5)
Teacher report: 5% (Competences CE1, CE3)
The evaluations of assignments and tutorials are maintained for the second opportunity, although additional work can be done to improve the grade. No qualifications will be maintained for further courses.
In cases of examination fraud "either on exercises or tests”, will be applied what is foreseen in the “Regulations for the evaluation of the academic performance of students and the revision of grades”.

Safety
The student will have a basic operating manual for each of the practices, which will include the most relevant aspects in relation to safety and prevention of occupational hazards.
The admission and permanence of the students enrolled in the practical laboratory requires that they know and comply with the standards set out in the "Basic training protocol on hygiene for experimental spaces" of the Higher Technical School of Engineering, available in the section on hygiene of your website which you can access as follows:
1. Access your intranet.
2. Enter Documentation / Security / Training.
3. Click on "Basic Safety Training Protocol for Experimental Spaces".
