Abstract

A framework is introduced for the systematic development of preparative chromatographic processes. It is intended for the optimal design of conventional and advanced concepts that exploit strategies like recycling, side streams, bypasses, using single or multiple columns, and combinations thereof. The Python-based platform simplifies the implementation of new processes and design problems by decoupling design tasks into individual modules for modelling, simulation, assertion of cyclic stationarity, product fractionation, and optimization. Interfaces to external libraries provide flexibility regarding the choice of column model, solver, and optimizer. The current implementation, named \emph{CADET-Process}, uses the software \emph{CADET} for solving the model equations. The structure of the framework is discussed and its application for optimal design of existing and identification of new chromatographic operating concepts is demonstrated by case studies.
