Case Study
A quality team is studying how a catalytic reaction converts
substrate into a final product.

Case Study…
Factors identified after brainstorming:
Feed rate – Flow rate settings for feed tank (10,15 ml/min)
Catalyst (A, B)
Agitation rate (100, 120)
Temperature (140º, 180º C)
Percent concentration (3%, 6%)
Case Study...
Response:
Percent of substrate reacted
Data collection:
The team has enough budget to perform 35 runs. They
could run a full factorial design (25=32). However, a better
approach is to run a fractional design, analyze results,
and decide on subsequent experimentation.
What’s next?
Create a ½ fraction design.

Conclusions:
Feed rate and agitation do not have a significant impact
Catalyst B, a temperature of 180ºC, and 3%
concentration maximize substrate consumption.
Followup experiment:
The team had budget for 19 additional runs. They used
Catalyst B and run a 22 full factorial design with 2 center
points to detect curvature in the response. They centered
experiment at currently known optimal settings,180ºC, 3%.

Case Study...
Conclusions:
A quadratic effect on catalytic reaction due to temperature
and concentration is present.
This design has low power, not the best choice. A better
design would include 2 replicates, but would require 12 runs
(assuming 2 center points per replicate) rather than 6.
Additional consideration:
Consider using response surface methodology to model the
curvature.
