The document provides information about biomanufacturing education and training programs. It discusses the Northeast Biomanufacturing Collaborative and Center's work since 2003 to define the skills, knowledge, and abilities needed by biomanufacturing technicians. It highlights the development of curriculum and instructional materials to educate technicians for careers supporting the bioeconomy. Examples are given of various biomanufacturing processes and the equipment involved in areas like biopharmaceuticals, biofuels, and industrial biotechnology.

2. History of Northeast Biomanufacturing
Collaborative and Center
Since 2003, working with biomanufacturing employers to define
the skills, knowledge and abilities (SKAs) needed by technicians to
develop, produce and analyze bioproducts. Starting with
biopharmaceutical production and analysis in 2003, 2007 and
2013; with biofuels in 2013 and finishing up with industrial
biotechnology in 2015 (and 2016), we will synthesized these inputs
from local (and global) employers into a single set of SKAs to
educate and train technicians to support the development and
growth of the bioeconomy. The synthesis of these inputs on what
biotechnicians need to know and do is driving the production of
hands-on and online curriculum and instructional materials,
including laboratory manuals, textbooks and virtual industrial
modules to facilitate deep understanding of what is required by
technicians to biomanufacture bioproducts, creating an
awareness of the many career pathways in biomanufacturing.

6. Pacific Biodiesel (Big Island Biodiesel)
5M gallon/year Fry Oil to Biodiesel Facility
Collected fry oil into heated
tanks, oil strained, placed into
funnel shaped tanks where
sodium hydroxide cleaves
glycerol from triglyceride and
methanol is used to add a
methyl group to the free fatty
acids to produce FAME or fatty
acid methyl esters or biodiesel.
Glycerol to bottom of funnel
and biodiesel is drawn off and
dewatered. BIB follows this by
distillation, producing crystal
clear biodiesel.
7. Vessels and Pumps
Vessels store/contain liquids, solids, or
gasses involved in bioproducts
production, such as bioreactors, tanks,
drums, cylinders, and bins.
Pumps are used to move liquids through
the system, such as into or out of a vessel.
There are many different types of pumps,
but they all use either rotational or
centrifugal force to induce flow in liquids.

9. Piping and Valves
Piping is cylindrical tubes made of
varying lengths and materials such as
316L stainless steel, plastics, and iron
that carry materials (usually in liquid or
gas form) from one location to
another.
Valves are devices that are attached to
piping or equipment to control the
flow of liquids or gases. There are a
wide variety of valve types that can
start/stop or throttle (open or close in
increments) the flow. Valves are vital
to process control. They can be
remotely opened or closed by
computers to control variables such as
flow or level.
Piping and valves are the most
common pieces of equipment found in
a biomanufacturing facility.

the centrifuge
Microalgae are

26. Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) for
Separation and Concentration
Using TFF with the right cut off filters, the biologic of interest
can be separated from other thing
For instance HSA has a molecular weight of 69KD. To make
sure that the protein of interest is retained, a 10KD cut-off
filter is used.
After ultrafiltration, we can diafilter, adding the phosphate
buffer at pH 7.1 that we will also use to equilibrate our
affinity column to prepare it for affinity chromatography of
HSA.

39. Virtual Downstream Processing
Monoclonal antibody proteins (or mAbs) are the
single largest class of recombinant biological drugs
to date and represent about a third of the total
biopharmaceutical market. The recent success of
monoclonal antibodies for a wide range of disease
therapies has led to the development of industrial
production operations that manufacture
pharmaceutical-grade mAbs both efficiently and
safely. The following modules introduce a typical
mAb bioprocessing workflow, detailing the
equipment and processes used in biomanufacturing
within a regulated environment.
