Benefits of Batch Process Simulation

When a process is ready to move from development to manufacturing, process simulation facilitates technology transfer and process fitting. A detailed computer 

Sensitivity analyses are greatly facilitated by process simulation tools as well. The objective of such studies is to evaluate the impact of critical parameters on various key performance indicators (KPIs), such as production cost, cycle times, and plant throughput. If there is uncertainty for certain input parameters, sensitivity analysis can be supplemented with Monte Carlo simulation to quantify the impact of uncertainty.

This chapter is divided into three sections. Section 15.1 provides introductory information and explains the benefits of batch process simulation. Section 15.2 focuses on the detailed modeling of single batch processes. This type of analysis is typically performed by chemical engineers engaged in the development and optimization of such processes. The concepts are illustrated with an example that deals with the...
