Validating a process model with experimental data is a key part in ensuring that the model is both accurate and predictive across a range of scales. PSE has recently augmented its state-of-the-art model validation technology, significantly streamlining the validation workflow. It has always been possible to process steady state and dynamic experimental, pilot or operational data from a variety of sources, estimate a large number of parameters simultaneously, and receive a detailed statistical analysis to quantify the predictive accuracy of the model. The new developments make it much easier to do so. They include easy-to-use data-import and processing, the ability to select some of the data for fitting and some for independent ‘blind test’ validation, plus significantly improved reporting and visualisation of results. In addition, the model validation activity can take advantage of PSE’s new high-performance computing capabilities , with full parallelisation to significantly reduce time for parameter estimation.
