In this study, based on the model correction method [1], we estimated the model parameters in the SMB model including those in a nonlinear isotherm. We obtained 35 datasets from a pilot plant study including product concentrations under different operating conditions. The SMB process employed the Advanced SMB (ASMB) operation developed by Organo Corporation [2]. As a case study, separation of fructose and glucose was considered. Our parameter estimation scheme with Tikhonov regularization found a parameter set from the data efficiently, and uncertainty of the estimated parameters was quantified as confidence intervals. Moreover, model validation was carried out using the experimental data that were not used in the estimation, which confirmed that our estimation improved the model prediction (Figure 1).
