Pilot Scale Fermentation | The Basics

О курсе

Fermentation plays a key role in turning biological ideas into scalable products—but moving from lab concepts to pilot scale and beyond introduces new systems, decisions, and constraints. This course provides an accessible introduction to pilot scale fermentation, helping learners understand how fermentation processes work and what changes as they scale. You’ll explore major fermentation types, microbes, and the high level fermentation process from start to finish. The course also introduces core pilot scale equipment and downstream processing steps, focusing on their purpose and the tradeoffs they introduce across scale up. Designed for scientists, founders, and cross functional professionals working in or around the fermentation industry, this beginner level course requires no prior fermentation experience and emphasizes conceptual understanding and scale up considerations. This course is part of the College of ACES suite of online programs and is supported by the Integrated Bioprocessing Research Lab (IBRL), a pilot plant facility focused on bioprocessing technologies located at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. The IBRL was built with the needs of industry projects and customers in mind, supporting over 1,000 scale-up projects for our clients since opening in 2018.
