Abstract

The data set of batch biological and biotechnological processes can be organized in a three-way data matrix. In this paper the usefulness of different PCA approaches for monitoring is analyzed. Different ways of unfolding and scaling of data have been applied to a pilot-scale SBR data. PCA is used to reduce the dimensionality and to remove the non-linearity dynamic of the data. Moreover, a new method to select the number of principal components is proposed. Loadings graphics are used to determinate the predominant variables for each one. The results show that whatever model can be applied depending on the goal of the monitoring, however the models implicate possible false alarms or faults omission.
