Gregory K. McMillan and Robert A. Cameron Building on the knowledge and the goals of the best-selling book, Advanced Control Unleashed, this portable pocket guide goes beyond theoretical concepts and provides new insight into the implementation practices after the objectives have been defined and the technology decisions have been made. Recognizing the opportunity that models present to capture and exploit plant knowledge, the authors share their expertise on the concepts, procedures, and examples needed to construct and apply different models through the use of “state of the art” software for simulation and model predictive control. Sharing the results of the extensive testing they performed and to extend the utility of Models Unleashed, the authors have included a website link that lets you download Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and Powerpoint files.

New Directions in Bioprocess Modeling and Control: Maximizing Process Analytical Technology Benefits Michael A. Boudreau and Gregory K. McMillan If you are a process design, quality control, information systems, or auto-mation engineer in the biopharmaceutical, brewing, or bio-fuel industry, this handy resource will help you define, develop, and apply a virtual plant, model predictive control, first-princi-ple models, neural networks, and multivariate statistical process control. The synergistic knowledge discovery on bench top or pilot plant scale can be ported to industrial scale processes. This learning process is consistent with the intent in the Process Analyzer and Process Control Tools sections of the FDA’s Guidance for Industry PAT – A Framework for Innovative Pharmaceutical Development, Manufacturing and Quality Assurance.
