Kind of weird that they would use ML/AI for a separations process. Separations and chemical engineering in general absolutely LOVES parameters and systems of equations. And don't go anywhere near colloids, those have so many empirically sourced parameters it will make your head spin.

You do this when you're a vendor working for big pharma and the people there can't/won't give you/don't understand the relevant quantities and aren't even familiar with standard models of the process despite their being formally trained chemical engineers and the models being 50 years old. Speaking from direct experience with several companies that are trying to bring us covid vaccines
