Reactor simulations made accurate, fast and easy

In the car industry, different variants of cars were crashed to determine the safest configuration. Nowadays, the optimization for crash safety is done on the computer, and one car is crashed to validate the simulation. The same should be true for scale-ups in the biotech industry: Based on a reactor characterization in the lab scale, a computer simulation can determine the ideal process parameters for the production-scale reactor. One batch determines the validity of the simulation-based scale-up. The production is started immediately afterward. All the intermediate scale-up volumes are skipped, thereby reducing the experimental load and the time-to-market. In this presentation, you will see how close we are to this vision.
