DATA RECONCILIATION BASED ON ELEMENTAL BALANCES APPLIED TO BATCH EXPERIMENTS

Data reconciliation is a method of analysis which has been intensively developed for steady state chemical processes. We proposed a revised formulation of the data reconcilation to batch reactors where all meas urements are treated simultaneously over the total period of experimen t. If we assume that all the components taking part to the reaction ph enomena are measured independently, our formulation make it possible t o use the classical tests and method of steady state data reconciliati on. An exemple of data reconciliation for batch processes is given.
