Abstract

Washington University's Department of Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering uses a DCS virtual plant to model and explore bioreactor and bioprocess control opportunities. "State of the Art" industrial software, hardware and novel synthetic biology technologies are utilized to learn actual problems in both traditional chemical plant and new biotechnology industry. Students conduct control concept testing with pilot plant scale hardware/software. Emphasis is placed on advanced control techniques and its new applications that is easy enough to be used by undergraduates with the guidance of an experienced instructor.
