Abstract

In this work, the process synthesis problem for the bio-manufacturing of high-value intracellular compounds is addressed using a systematic framework that allows for the user to input key process parameters from literature or experiments. The framework is based on a superstructure optimization approach and integrates various methods and tools, including a generic model and a database for data management (Bertran et al.,2017). We propose the following five steps: (1) problem formulation, (2) data collection and superstructure generation, (3) solution of the optimization problem, and (4) sensitivity analysis and (5) experimentation with informed design and then determination of the optimal process design. The framework is implemented in Super-O, software which guides the user through the formulation and solution of synthesis problems. This paper demonstrates the proposed framework though an illustrative case study on the production of beta-carotene from recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae(SM14) via continuous cultivation.
