Abstract: ABSTRACT METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR REAL-TIME MONITORING AND OPTIMIZATION OF A PACKED BED COLUMN The disclosure generally relates to methods and systems for real-time monitoring and optimization of a packed bed column. Conventional techniques for the packed bed simulation in the literature are very limited which employ fundamental physics-based models such as Ergun and Darcy models in conjunction with fixed feed inlet velocity boundary condition, resulting in erroneous predictions. The present disclosure constructs a digital twin of the physical packed bed column by predicting state parameters in a spatio-temporal domain inside the packed bed column, using first principle-based model, a data-driven model, a knowledge driven model, or a combination thereof. The one or more state variables and state parameters are then processed to determine and optimize the one or more key performing indicators (KPIs) of a process and each of one or more process steps of the process. The obtained digital twin is then used for monitoring the physical packed bed column in real-time. [
