Biochemical Engineering

Biochemical Engineering is a highly interdisciplinary field combining biotechnology and chemical engineering. It includes the study of how basic raw materials are changed to the finished products by means of rigorous processes. It mainly deals with the design, construction, and advancement of unit processes that involve biological organisms or organic molecules and has different applications in areas of interest like biofuels, food, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and water treatment processes. The cells could be from animals, bacteria or single-celled animals like algae each type needs to be treated in a various way to get them to do what is needed.
