Micro Process Engineering for Fine Chemistry and Fuel Processing - From Lab to Pilot/Production and First Issues on Dynamic Operation

Volker Hessel
IMM Mainz


Abstract

This presentation tries to cover the following two aspects. To show up how milli and micro process technologies contribute to green processing and process intensification in chemical industry. Relevant trends in the IMM developments (with some supplements of TU/e research) will be given at the focal points catalyst / fabrication / reactor / plant / processes. As outlook and much more briefly, first thoughts on process control for micro processing will be given, showing some issues and examples for process analytics in fine chemistry and some results about dynamic operation in fuel processing.
