Time-optimal batch diafiltration
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study concentrates on time-optimal operation of a general batch diafiltration process. The process model consists of a set of input affine differential equations. We apply Pontryagin’s minimum principle to formulate necessary conditions of optimality. These are then used to identify the shape of optimal control as well as singular surface in concentration space. Comparison is made between traditional control techniques and obtained minimum time control. It is shown that traditionally used operations are suboptimal for selected case studies.

Time-optimal Diafiltration in the Presence of Membrane Fouling
This paper is a preliminary study that deals with time-optimal control of a batch membrane diafiltration processes where fouling of the equipped membrane is pronounced. We account for the membrane fouling by its dynamic model where the pore blocking mechanism applies. It is assumed that due to the deposit of foulants, the radius of membrane pores decreases and the part of membrane surface becom...
متن کاملTime-optimal control of diafiltration processes in the presence of membrane fouling
This paper deals with time-optimal operation of batch diafiltration processes in the presence of membrane fouling. Fouling causes a decrease in membrane area and, hence, an increase in processing time. In this work we study a time-optimal operation with several fouling models available in literature. Pontryagin’s minimum principle is applied to characterize the structure of the optimal operatio...

In this paper, we deal with the model-based time-optimal operation of a batch diafiltration process in the presence of membrane fouling. Membrane fouling poses one of the major problems in the field of membrane processes. We model the fouling behavior and estimate its parameters using various methods. Least-squares, least-squares with a moving horizon, recursive least-squares methods and the ex...

This paper deals with the time-optimal operation and parameter estimation problem of a general diafiltration process in the presence of fouling. Fouling stands for one of the dominant problems in the membrane separation processes. The dynamic behavior of the fouled membrane is described by a general fouling model taken from literature. An Extended Kalman filter is proposed for the recursive est...
متن کاملDiafiltration MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry method for culture-independent detection and identification of pathogens directly from urine specimens.
OBJECTIVES With the aim of rapid, culture-independent identification of microorganisms directly from urine specimens, we developed a diafiltration matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) method. METHODS In this procedure, urine specimens are desalted, fractionated, and concentrated prior to MS analysis. The analytic performance characteristi...
