Catalyst Screening to Continuous Processing

PAT and Data Rich Experimentation for Continuous Processes

Program oversigt

  • Use of HTE for catalyst screening
  • Scale-up of chosen catalyst into batch hydrogenation
  • Design of continuous hydrogenation based off the batch screening results

Darren Whitaker of Takeda discusses the development of a continuous hydrogenation process, including catalyst screening, process optimization, and the use of process analytical technology (PAT) for real-time monitoring. Explore the importance of data-rich experimentation and model predictive control using advanced control algorithms to maintain optimal process conditions and ensure consistent product quality.
