Batch reaction and separation processes are the preferred route for producing, for example, specialty chemicals, food and beverage products and pharmaceutical ingredients. The inherently dynamic nature of batch processes makes process optimisation a challenging task unsuited to traditional steady-state simulation approaches. New advanced process modelling tools and techniques make it possible to optimise batch process recipes directly rather than by trial-and-error analysis. They can help, for example, to minimise batch times while meeting product quality constraints, to reduce batch-to-batch variability, improve product quality, reduce energy usage, maximise asset utilisation for multi-purpose plants and optimise recipes for different equipment or product qualities. The optimal settings generated can be fed directly into the batch process control system.
