Chemical reactors: whole process based approaches to reactor design and selection

摘要

Successfully commercialising a reactor requires wider consideration beyond the design of the reactor alone. It is necessary to consider the whole process from reagent preparation to product separation. A systematic approach is recommended, which will guide project teams through capturing the business and technical drivers, the acquisition of data and process understanding, to developing an outline requirements specification. This is then fed into a structured decision-making process aiding the business's go/no-go decision before handing over to detailed design and conventional stage-gated project management.
