This session provides short statements of the participants on the panel followed by a panel discussion open for all attendees which is moderated. After a short introduction on the use of Micro Process Engineering, attendees will interact both with industrial users and solutions providers in analysing reached performance (also in terms of costs) and existing offers, their advantages and drawbacks. We will discuss to which extent and where the technology will go into production. We will then analyse what impact MicroProcess Engineering will have on the chemical industry by cross checking needs and expectations from potential users with the advantages and added value of the technology and challenges to overcome.
