SOCIETY FOR BIOLOGICAL ENGINEERING (SBE) SUPPLEMENT: COMMERCIALIZING INDUSTRIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY
Biomass Processing by the Numbers
A look at the news gives an idea of what’s happening in bioprocessing around the world. Here, bio-based projects reported between October 2013 and October 2015 are sliced, diced, and brought to you in the form of numbers.
Technology Challenges and Opportunities
Industrial biotech is the third wave of modern biotechnology, and it promises to be the biggest wave — bigger than biopharma and agricultural biotech.
Use Cost Models to Guide R&D
Applying cost models throughout the development of microbial strains and production processes can reduce the time and cost of commercializing new fermentation products.
SAFETY
Strike the Right Balance Between Active and Passive Fire Protection
Use scenario-based fire modeling to determine the most effective combination of active fire protection and passive fire protection for your facility. Read this article now.

CCUS: Utilizing CO2 to Reduce Emissions
Converting carbon dioxide emissions into valuable products is an exciting concept for the chemical process industries (CPI).
BACK TO BASICS
Understand Advanced Process Control
Multivariable processes are controlled by a hierarchical structure of control layers. Field devices and regulatory controls manage individual variables, while advanced process control and production control systems coordinate multiple variables to optimize operation.
