Challenges in Process Scale up


Description:
The development and piloting of new processes is often faced with challenges that are either a reflection of the process mass, momentum or energy transfer, chemistry and/or the realities that piloting equipment are not always as available or adaptable to small scale pilot plants. This session encourages submissions where specific challenges in process scale-up were faced and new and interesting (innovative) approaches to resolve these challenges were developed and implemented.
