Bachelor of Chemical Engineering Technology (Hons) in Bioprocess

Chemical engineers that specialize in bioprocessing transform biological materials into various forms that humans require, pushing the boundaries of biological and engineering disciplines. The production of biofuels, the design and operation of fermentation systems, the development of food processing systems, the use and testing of product separation technologies, the design of instrumentation to monitor and control biological processes, and many other application areas are frequently linked to bioprocess engineering.
