Model based approach to Process Development

Process Understanding based Design Scale-up
Model Generation

Lab Data Model + Equipment data Predicted
Experiments (Model) Large Scale Process Performance
Optimization

Experiments are performed to generate Process Understanding, not
necessarily to get good yields in the lab

This Process Understanding is then captured by First Principles Mechanistic
Models


Basis for Model development are time resolved profiles of different data from
experiments at different conditions (temperatures, starting concentrations)

1) Analytical profiles

2) Heat generation rates

3) Additional online info (ReactIR, pH,
gas generation, H2 uptake, etc...)

4) Accurate temperature profiles

C P k2(Tref) Ea2 dHr2

Modeling ΔHR in
DynoChem


Sources of ΔHR data

The standard sources of ΔHR are experimental data from

 Reaction Calorimeters for desired reaction conditions

 DSC and Adiabatic Calorimeters for exploring Process
Safety (potential runaway reactions)

The Mettler RC1 benchmark Reaction Calorimeter
generates heat flow profiles, which can be entered into
DynoChem

The Impact of Process
Safety – What-if Scenarios


Process Safety Concerns

Reaction energy coupled with the reaction rates is responsible for
heat generation rates and that these with the interplay of reactor
cooling capacity will determine the reaction temperature profile.

Typical What-if Scenarios

 Loss of Cooling Capacity
 Consequences of a cooling failure

 Reaction time at which loss of cooling capacity is critical
 Time for counter measures


Process Safety Concerns
TMR =f(MTSR) ;TMR: Time for Maximum Rate

MTSR: Maximum Temperature of a Synthesis Reaction

Why DynoChem?

DynoChem predicts :

 Temperature profiles and their consequences before any
real large scale reaction is performed.

 The fate of reaction energy under deviations from the
desired conditions

 The behaviour of TMR vs Temperature by allowing the
automated run of multiple scenarios (like running DoE type
experiments)

Conclusion


Conclusions
Where DynoChem Fits?

 Provides a generic simulation engine that designed for solving rate based
process models across many unit operations and model complexities

 Comes with a substantial model library “out of the box” that include many
developed with your colleagues in the safety community

 Is inherently extendable allowing templates to be customized to your
specific workgroup and workflow.

The Role of Safety

 The potential for safety to expand their role in pharmaceutical
organizations has never been greater with QbD fueling a desire for
predictive process knowledge

 This starts just by using modeling tools to further leverage what you
already do!
