    Hey all,

    I'm having trouble finding examples for a biochemical process and I need to draw a block diagram for it. It for my upcoming midterm.

    Here is the question verbatim. Please help if you can:

    The class is Biochemicl Engineerng Principles

    Describe a biochemical engineering process and draw a block diagram.
    -Describe the type of fermenter, product, enzyme, agitation etc...

    What are separation challenges for the process?

    What are some separation processes?

    Describe how to find the kLa for the fermenter design.

    uh, ....would the process of making beer qualify as a "biomedical process"? :D

    Yes, the process for making beer is a biochemical process, but I need an example with flow in, flow out, sparger, and impeller data.

    Dear God, don't let my older brother see this. You'll never hear the end. However, on a positive note, he will be home tomorrow with a five gallon keg of his pumpkin-spice ale. Strangely enough, made with sweet potatoes.

    He's gotten pretty good over the years. He's a pharmacist, with a secondary degree in micro-biology. He even grows his own yeast cultures. Here's a crappy pic from a brew day awhile back, then the other side of the garage is my favorite, the four different kegs at any one time home made keg-o-rator.
