Process Optimization of DWC for Fatty Acid Fractionation using Taguchi Methods of Experimental Design

Experimental design (ED) is a powerful technique for optimizing the performance of a process. Compared to a model-based optimization technique, ED does not require the development of mathematical formulation but nevertheless needs a good model or experimental setup and statistical analysis. This pap...
