Obtain the Optimal Pilot Plant

摘要

AN INVESTMENT in a pilot plant often is an important step for successfully scaling up a product.The pilot plant can provide critical technical knowledge of how to build a large-scale plant.Indeed,a properly engineered pilot plant delivers important insights.Discovering faulty assumptions and errors on a small scale can avoid financial,safety and technical risks in subsequent larger units.A pilot plant essentially is an evolution of your product to increased scale.A pilot plant's primary objective is to demonstrate chemical and physical stability of a new production technique.Modern modeling software offers a quick and iterative way to find optimal design parameters-but models contain many assumptions that often have vast unknown effects on chemical processes and carry inherent risk.
