Designing a high-performance batch crystallization process is challenging because of the large number of design variables that often require repeated crystallization and dissolution cycles. Synchronizing the crystallizer and wet-milling operations adds further complexity. Direct nucleation control (DNC) is widely used to automatically design cycles of crystal growth and dissolution for single-input, single-output systems─for example, adjusting the temperature to maintain the relative number density within a predefined range. This study extends the DNC principle to handle an integrated system. We propose a sequential split-range controller that regulates the relative number density by employing cooling and heating as the primary manipulated variables. When the target particle count cannot be achieved by cooling alone, a wet-milling cycle is automatically initiated to increase the count through high shear, thereby enhancing the nucleation, attrition, and breakage. Experimental results indicate that this control strategy can drive the process beyond the limits of conventional DNC, producing repeated cycles of growth and nucleation (by cooling or sequential cooling and milling) and dissolution (by heating). In addition to generating larger crystals, the automatic milling cycles also reduced the aspect ratio of rod-like particles, demonstrating the potential for simultaneous crystal-shape control. Repeated implementation of the integrated operation discovered by split-range DNC exhibited high reproducibility, underscoring the potential of the method not only as a control strategy but also as a rapid process-design tool.}, year = {2026}, eissn = {1520-586X}, pages = {861-871}, orcid-numbers = {Szilágyi, Botond/0000-0001-7777-9612} } @article{MTMT:37074679, title = {Direct Nucleation Control with External Heating Loop: Process System Engineering, Simulation and Experimental Investigation}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/37074679}, author = {Budimir Sacher, Josip and Bolf, Nenad and Rogue, Manon}, doi = {10.3390/cryst16040248}, journal-iso = {CRYSTALS}, journal = {CRYSTALS}, volume = {16}, unique-id = {37074679}, abstract = {The aim of this work was to explore and test the concept of a novel direct nucleation control method with external dissolution of fine crystals (E-DNC). It was postulated that the heating cycles of the internal DNC method could be transferred from the crystallizer jacket to an electrically heated recirculation tube, thereby using less energy and requiring a shorter time compared to internal DNC. The conceptual model was explored and developed by reviewing previous research on the topic and addressing known drawbacks. Engineering experience and a heuristic approach led to the conclusion that five commonly used controllers would suffice for a straightforward implementation of the method. A simplified simulation was developed to compare the time and energy requirements for the internal and external DNC methods, and it was concluded that external DNC uses 37% less energy and 19% less time compared to internal DNC. The laboratory system was then constructed by modifying the internal DNC apparatus with inexpensive and commonly used components. A linear cooling experiment was performed to establish the baseline for comparison with E-DNC experiments and to set the expected count range. The E-DNC experiments were then conducted with the aim of obtaining larger crystal sizes, and it was shown that the process could be designed in only three experiments.

This applies to technologies that have already been developed on a small scale, and it applies when the focal point of scale-up is the stirring conditions, rather than heat transfer or other issues. We propose identifying the predictive CFD variables on the measured CQAs and then training a predictive model that allows us to estimate the CQAs from the simulated flow fields in a technology transfer. The case study of cooling crystallization of L-glutamic acid demonstrates the workflow. Small-scale experiments (0.5 L) are performed with varied active volume and agitation rates, and the particle size distributions (PSD) of the products are measured. The corresponding quasi-steady-state CFD simulations were executed to obtain the flow field using the k−ɛ turbulence model. A partial least squares (PLS)–based recursive feature selection identified the predictive mixing parameters from the plethora of available CFD variables and simultaneously built a predictive model for the product CQA-s. Five critical CFD variables were identified in this case study, all related to the shear-rate distributions. The calibrated optimal PLS model had two components, and allowed the prediction of the mean sizes of the product, that is, Dv10, Dv50, and Dv90 on a 5 L scale with 0.2, 16.4, and 1.2μm deviation from the measured values. This data-driven method simplifies and accelerates the CFD-based scale-up under certain conditions (moderate nonlinearities, flow-centric problem) but does not aim to replace the meticulously identified nonlinear first-principles models. © 2025 The Authors}, year = {2025}, eissn = {1873-328X}, orcid-numbers = {Pusztai, Éva/0000-0002-1997-2630; Szilágyi, Botond/0000-0001-7777-9612} } @article{MTMT:36258769, title = {Integrated In Vitro / In Silico Uncertainty Quantification Method for Protein Crystallization Models}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/36258769}, author = {Pessina, Daniele and Calderon De Anda, Jorge and Heffernan, Claire and Heng, Jerry Y.

High solute concentrations are needed for crystal nucleation and growth, exceeding those eluted upstream and therefore preventing the adoption of crystallisation in downstream separation steps. By promoting molecular aggregation and nucleation via a lowered energy barrier, heterogeneous surfaces or templates can relax the supersaturation requirements and widen the crystallisation operating space. Though templates are promising candidates for process optimisation, their experimental testing has generally been limited to small-volume experiments, and quantification of their impact on process intensification and quality metrics at higher volumes remains unexplored. To address the knowledge gap, a model-based investigation of template-induced protein crystallisation systems through evaluation of key metrics is presented. Porous silica nano-particles with three chemical functionalisations (hydroxyl, carboxyl and butyl) are added to batch lysozyme crystallisation experiments at 40ml. Crystallisation population balance models are parametrised with an experimentally-validated parameter estimation methodology and further experiments are simulated. The templates appear to lower the estimated interfacial energy compared to the homogeneous case, leading to nucleation rate profiles which are less dependent on supersaturation. For this reason, the templates can crystallize quicker than the homogeneous system, particularly at lower initial concentrations.

Many orthogonally designed and usually relatively lightly monitored experiments are performed as a part of it. The final design/scale-up is inherently truncated by experimental and statistical modeling errors and assumptions, compromising the reliability of the calculated design space (DS). This study proposes to apply process modeling in a complementary way: utilize the experiments from the DoE to calibrate an application-driven model, quantify its accuracy, and use it─in parallel with the statistical interpretation of the DoE─to design the process. Both the DoE and model-based DS determination involve workflow-specific assumptions, simplifications, and errors, but the overlap between the independent results may be considered a derisked DS. We demonstrate this workflow on the design of a fed-batch salting-out crystallization for a commercial active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The model was identified based on product particle size distribution data of a DoE set from a small-scale reactor (0.25 L) and a manufacturing batch (ca. 4000 L). Although reactors with intermediate volumes are also generally applied as a part of scale-up, included in the presented case study, those were not included in the model development and verification. The kinetic equations were taken from our previously developed cooling crystallization model of the same API. After calibration and accuracy evaluation, the critical process parameters were determined using interpretable machine learning via Shapley diagrams, and the DS was mapped and visualized using Monte Carlo sampling-based simulations. The DS was validated for 0.25 L experiments. The model-based DS was somewhat narrower than the DoE-based DS on a small scale. The DS determined for plant-scale crystallization can guide the manufacturing-scale process design and operation. The extrapolation capabilities of the model were stressed by external validation by defining and validating experimentally the DS for a 1 L crystallization. These results indicate that models developed in this application-centric way can enhance the robustness of the processes, and the modeling branch does not add any risk. In the worst-case scenario, if the modeling fails, one still has the results from the traditional design approach. © 2024 The Authors.

By adjusting process parameters, the productivity, product quality, and efficiency of downstream processes can be improved. In complex processes, model-based design becomes invaluable. Population Balance Models (PBMs) have successfully aided the chemical industry in achieving more effective production processes for decades. These models can utilize various input data sources to identify the dominant mechanisms and calibrate model parameters. While inline particle monitoring tools serve as excellent qualitative descriptors, challenges arise from experimentation and data interpretation, hindering their direct application in the kinetic parameter estimation of PBMs. In this study, we present a novel approach that utilizes information from inline particle monitoring tools for the kinetic parameter estimation of PBMs, bypassing the associated obstacles. Our pioneering approach relies on offline product size data and the correlation-based utilization of inline particle monitoring information. The paper compares this novel strategy with two parameter estimation techniques: the classical method using solute concentration and product size data and a somewhat naïve approach, which assumes that the inline particle monitoring data can directly be compared with the simulations. The prediction capabilities are evaluated through two in-silico case studies. The results indicate that the precision and predictive capability of the correlation-based technique are comparable to the classical approach, both for noisy data and for a system undergoing significant agglomeration and deagglomeration. The use of Pearson's correlation coefficient yields the best results in the novel cases. These findings in in-silico datasets provide a foundation and motivation for the practical application of this idea, unleashing the so-far hidden model development potential of such measurements. © 2024 The Author(s)}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2405-8440}, orcid-numbers = {Szilágyi, Botond/0000-0001-7777-9612} }
