Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The role of biotechnology in process engineering has attracted significant interest within the scientific community due to its numerous applications. Bioreactors represent the heart of bioprocessing, being the place in which the main reactions occur. This makes bioreactor design and optimization of increasing interest for enhancing process efficiencies. In many bioprocesses, bioreactor characteristics influence a process’ economic feasibility. Consequently, developing innovative solutions for reactor design is a pressing need in bioprocess engineering.
This Special Issue requests high-quality studies focusing on topics such as the following:
- Innovative bioreactor design;
- CFD modeling of bioreactors;
- Process intensification in bioreactors;
- Mass-transfer optimization in bioreactors;
- Solid-state bioreactors: development and challenges.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
