Most of the research related to biotechnology is conducted in the laboratory, such as treating wastewater using biological methods. An engineering system was built for this purpose to treat wastewater and measure water properties before and after treatment, such as BOD, COD, TSS, TDS. Fermenters were also designed to perform fermentation reactions for a number of fermentation-related research. More than 10 specialized researches have been completed in this laboratory, and lectures are given in the practical aspect for students of the Higher Diploma in Biochemical Engineering, in addition to postgraduate students completing the practical aspect in preparing their research.
Devices in the laboratory:
1- UV-100 Spectro photometer.
2- Viscosity measuring device.
3- PH measuring device.
4- Electricity and salts measuring device (Nacl + Ec).
5- Dissolved oxygen level measuring device in water.
6- Turbit meter measuring device.
7- Total dissolved salts measuring device TDS.
Laboratory objectives:
Training graduate students to work in the field of engineering systems and publishing research in international and Arab journals. Research was published by the laboratory staff as research on the removal of phosphorus from water biologically and the bio-absorption of heavy metals from aqueous solutions using tree fibers and on the bio-absorption of cadmium by bacteria using tree fibers and on the bio-absorption of cadmium by P.aerouginosa bacteria as well as research topics that were studied by students such as the production of bio-emulsions from bacteria
