| Session 52 - Unit Operations: Scale up and Scale-down in Pilot Plants | |||
| Scale up of unit operations from laboratory to commercial is a critical issue for successful process development. Scale down is often needed to design laboratory or pilot equipment to reproduce commercial performance, for testing of new process concepts, catalysts, solvents, or conditions. This session is devoted to case studies and best practices in scale up and scale down in process development and pilot plants. | |||
