A mathematical model for the prediction of product formation in batch processes is presented. The suggested procedure allows production of a prognose at any given moment of a run concerning the product concentration at any future moment of the same experiment. The series of subsequent prognoses thus produce a trend, and it is assumed that an analysis of the trend may provide information, which is useful in the evaluation of different decision alternatives in pilot plant batch experiments.
