Study of the application of multiway multivariate techniques to model data from an industrial fermentation process.
Several multivariate statistical techniques have been extensively proposed for monitoring industrial processes. In this paper, multiway extensions of two such techniques: multiway principal component analysis (MPCA) and multiway partial least squares regression (MPLS) were applied to a large data set from an industrial pilot-scale fermentation process to improve process knowledge. The MPCA model is able to diagnose faults occurring in the process whether they affect or not process productivity while the MPLS model enables the prediction of final product concentration and the detection of faults that will influence the fermentation productivity.
