Batch process simulation is a computer modeling technique used for the design, analysis, and optimization of batch manufacturing processes. Batch process manufacturing is practiced in industries that produce low-volume, high-value products such as pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, biochemicals, food, consumer products, etc. Most batch manufacturing facihties are multiproduct plants that produce a variety of products. 

Previous chapters described modehng of individual operations, such as distillation, crystallization, filtration, etc. Batch process simulation combines multiple processing steps in order to model a complete batch process or even a multiproduct plant.
