Your benefits

We represent your complete bioprocess in a flowsheet, from media preparation and fermentation to downstream purification and utilities. This includes unit operations, recipes, changeover times, and cleaning. The model provides consistent mass and energy balances across all steps and reveals how constraints in one area affect the entire line.

• Flowsheet model of upstream and downstream process
• Mass and energy balances for key operating cases
• Visibility of interdependencies between unit operations

We use the model to test scale-up options and identify bottlenecks before you build. Different vessel sizes, numbers of trains, and batch vs. continuous strategies can be evaluated quickly. This helps you compare process variants (e.g. different yields or recovery rates) and select robust configurations for industrial implementation.

• Evaluation of scale-up concepts and plant capacities
• Identification of bottlenecks and debottlenecking options
• Comparison of process variants (batch vs. continuous, yields, recoveries)

By connecting the simulation to cost data, we translate technical assumptions into CAPEX, OPEX, and unit production costs. Equipment sizes and utilizations inform investment needs, while material and utility consumptions drive operating costs. This creates a clear bridge from process design to economic performance.

• Equipment sizing and utilization as input for CAPEX estimates
• Material and utility consumption profiles for OPEX calculations
• Unit production cost per scenario for comparison with TEA and business cases
