  The Role of Bioprocess Engineering in Biotechnology
Bioprocess and bioseparation engineering, which provided technology for carrying out complex, biological processes on a large scale, were critical in bringing human insulin to market.
Bioprocess engineers are working to scale up processes of cell culture to enable manufacturing facilities to meet that demand.
Bioprocess engineering will be required to develop a knowledge base of fluidics at a microscale, self-assembly processes of biological molecules, and microscale bioseparations.

 Bioprocess Technology
Bioprocesses have become widely used in several fields of commercial biotechnology, such as production of enzymes (used, for example, in food processing and waste management) and antibiotics.
Because bioprocesses use living material, they offer several advantages over conventional chemical methods of production: they usually require lower temperature, pressure, and pH (the measure of acidity); they can use renewable resources as raw materials; and greater quantities can be produced with less energy consumption.
As advances in bioprocess technology, particularly separation and purification techniques, are made, commercial firms will be able to economically produce these substances in large amounts, and thus make them available for use in medical research, food processing, agriculture, pharmaceutical development, waste management, and numerous other fields of science and industry.

 Bioprocess Optimization
Generally speaking, Bioprocess Optimization aims to improve the outcome of processes that use biological components or living organisms (for instance enzymes or micro-organisms).
Bioprocess outcome can be related to quite different criteria, such as maximized product yield in pharmaceutical industry, high product quality in food production, maximum remediation performance in environmental biotechnology or, in a wider context, patient well-being in medicine.
Many bioprocesses still have the potential to be improved considerably with respect to these criteria.

In a head-to-head government-funded study, BioProcess biofilm technology outperformed all of the competing membrane filter systems in its capacity to remove soluble nutrients in fish-processing industry wastewater.
The multi-year investigation was conducted by Eugene Clark, director of the Center for Pollution Prevention and Environmental Health at the University of Rhode Island, and funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The outcome demonstrated that the BioProcess BioFilm Filter System was the only technology to prevent an otherwise profitable fish processing company in Galilee, RI, from shutting down or moving to another state if it could not meet strict BOD limits.
