Abstract

Bioreactors and bioprocesses are integral to the field of biochemical engineering, facilitating the production of a wide array of valuable bioproducts. This comprehensive review article explores the latest developments in bioreactor design, operation, and bioprocess optimization, providing insights into the key challenges, emerging technologies, and their transformative impact across various industries. From novel bioreactor designs and scalability considerations to advanced monitoring and control systems, the evolving landscape of bioprocessing is analyzed. Moreover, this article sheds light on how bioreactors are contributing to sustainable production practices, reducing the environmental footprint of numerous sectors. The review concludes by underscoring the significance of continued innovation and collaboration to fully harness the potential of bioreactors in shaping the future of biochemical engineering.
