“Internet of Things” (IoT) and “Industry 4.0” (I4.0) are buzzwords in the process manufacturing and automation world, with far-reaching benefits understood by most at a high level. But, what relevant and practical data and understanding can I4.0 bring your company in everyday operations, such as monitoring compressed air consumption, process optimization, enabling energy efficiencies, and providing preventative diagnostics?

In biotechnology, the content and growth of biomass is an important process variable. There are different ways of quantifying this directly in the reactor. The methods currently used have advantages and disadvantages with regard to optimal process control and costs. This white paper demonstrates how biomass concentration and growth in biotech processes can be calculated using soft sensors and existing measurement signals.
