Achieve success with biosimulation
by Fluor Corp.
Widely used in petrochemical manufacturing, process simulation is becoming more popular for bioprocess development. This process mathematically models a manufacturing process to determine the effects of change. If it is done right, biosimulation can help engineering teams in allocating equipment, managing utility requirements and optimizing processes. In this white paper, Fluor Corp. discusses biosimulation and works through the example of improving purification to show the steps involved in using biosimulation.
Without clearly defined goals, biosimulation wastes time and money. For simulation to be effective, key variables must be identified and goals stated early in the process. Variables include throughput, uptime or equipment utilization, potential bottlenecks, schedules and resource allocation. Goals are needed early so that the right type, quantity and quality of information is fed to the model.
