Capacity Analysis
Capacity Analysis and Optimization of Batch Processes
Our service ...
- Do you operate a process plant with discontinuous process steps?
- Would you like to increase your plant's capacity?
- Are you planning a new plant or a plant expansion?
- Would you like to manufacture new products in your existing plant?
- Does your operational workflow include scale-up from the laboratory via pilot plant to full production?
If your answer to one of the above questions is yes, model-based capacity analysis is the ideal basis for both plant optimization and investment projects. Validated process models with task-specific detailing are the foundation for analyzing all steps from optimization of the recipe to the design of an entire production facility, including all central logistic elements and utilities.
In a capacity analysis and optimization project for batch and batch/continuous processes, we offer the following services:
- determination of the true plant capacity and reliable detection of capacity-restricting bottlenecks in ongoing production;
- development and quantification of successive debottlenecking scenarios;
- identification of capacity reserves and optimum investment concepts for capacity expansion;
- development and sizing of concepts for new plants, including utilities;
- optimal harmonization of equipment, production, buffer and storage capacities, bearing in mind true production conditions;
- harmonization of cycle times and assignment of process steps to main pieces of equipment;
- acceleration of product transfer using modelbased scale-up and consistent documentation.
