SmartScaler
SmartScaler.
Simple scale-up solutions. Scientifically grounded.
Dedicated scale-up software for bioprocess teams. Combining ease of use with CFD-based engineering depth.
The challenge
Scale-up remains one of the highest-risk phases in bioprocess development.
- Mixing effects change across scales
- Oxygen transfer behaves differently
- Power input does not scale linearly
- Experimental validation at production scale is limited
Traditional approaches rely on heuristics or simplified correlations — often insufficient for complex systems.
The solution
Smart scale-up. Without CFD complexity.
SmartScaler translates advanced CFD insights into a practical, easy-to-use software tool for process engineers.
It enables teams to
- Compare scale-up strategies
- Evaluate mixing and mass transfer limitations
- Identify scale-dependent risks
- Support engineering decisions before implementation
No CFD expertise required.
How it works
Validated CFD studies, packaged for engineering workflows.
SmartScaler is built on validated CFD simulation studies and engineering-scale reactor analysis. Instead of requiring full CFD workflows, it provides:
- Pre-evaluated engineering relationshipsDerived from validated simulation studies rather than generic correlations.
- Structured scale comparisonLab, pilot and production scale side by side, under consistent assumptions.
- Clear visualization of critical parametersMixing, mass transfer and power input where they actually become limiting.
- Decision support tailored to industrial reactorsConfigurations and constraints that match real production equipment.
This ensures scientifically grounded scale-up without the complexity of CFD modeling.
Industrial benefits
Built on science. Validated in industry.
With SmartScaler you will:
- Reduce scale-up uncertainty
- Avoid costly late-stage modifications
- Improve reactor performance
- Support regulatory documentation
- Accelerate transfer from pilot to production
