Description
Scaleup is an essential part of many chemical process operations, and efforts must take into account a variety of engineering, safety, and economic considerations. The articles in this guidebook focus on management strategies to ensure the most successful scaleup effort.
Emphasis is given to the requirements for moving small-scale chemical reactions and other laboratory developments to full-scale commercial operations. Additional articles address challenges in transitioning batch operations to continuous operations, managing contractors and sub-contractors, exploiting economies of scale, avoiding project-failure modes, target costing, lifecycle analyses, estimating project costs (including utilities), and more.
These practical, how-to articles were originally published in Chemical Engineering.
