Development of a Digital Twin for Enzymatic Hydrolysis Processes

Enzymatic hydrolysis processes can be used to produce organic nutrient media from renewable raw materials. However, many of these are not optimally designed, so expensive enzymes and substrates wasted. Mathematical models Digital Twins (DTs) powerful tools, which optimize bioprocesses and, thus, increase the yield desired products. Individual enzymatic have already been modeled, but for combined starch proteolysis, or DTs, available yet. Therefore, an easily adaptable, dynamic, mechanistic mathematical model representing kinetics process proteolysis was developed parameterized using experimental data. The simulate with agreement over 90% 85%. Subsequently, this implemented into existing DT a 20 L stirred tank reactor (STR). Since cannot only map process, also STR associated periphery (pumps, heating jacket, etc.), it is ideally suited future control strategy development thus optimization processes.
