Batch Elution Simulation with CADET

This repository contains example simulations of a Batch Elution process using CADET-Process and CADET-RDM. A two-component system with a Langmuir isotherm binding model and a LumpedRateModelWithoutPores unit operation model is simulated. Following this, the operating conditions are optimized to maximize process performance. This can be achieved by combining multiple parameters into a single objective (optimization_single.py) or by setting up a multi-objective problem (optimization_multi.py).

Running the Example Simulation

1. Clone this repository.

2. Set up the environment using the environment.yml file.

3. Run the simulation:

   python main.py

The results will be stored in the src folder inside the output directory.

Note: Running cadet-rdm requires Git LFS, which needs to be installed separately.

• Ubuntu/Debian:

  sudo apt-get install git-lfs
  git lfs install

• macOS (with Homebrew):

  brew install git-lfs
  git lfs install

• Windows: Download and install from https://git-lfs.com
