6 Summary
The chapter discussed about the basics and advancements of membrane science in
the field of bioprocess engineering. The advantages of using membranes in the field
of bioprocess engineering are discussed in detail, while evaluating the need and role
played by membranes. The role of membranes in pharma and biotech sector,
importance of membranes in the food industry, and significance of membrane
science in the development and advancements in the future of bioprocess engineering discussed extensively. Membranes show better, effective, and efficient performance compared to other conventional separation processes in the field of
bioprocess engineering. This strives the demand for further development and
advancement in the field of membrane science for the betterment of not only
bioprocess engineering but other fields associated with the field of membrane
science.
