The designer of a plant needs information about the availability of devices and unit operations. A market study executed by the Institut fur Mikrotechnik Mainz and YOLE Developpment [51] helps to make a first survey of commercially available devices. It also estimates future needs and objectives of the chemical industry and delivers a comparison between offered and required components (Figure 4.6). The providers of micro structured devices can deliver most of the components required by the chemical industry. On the other hand, there is a lack of separation devices but this is not fully transparent in Figure 4.6. Extraction devices are under represented and the important rectification units were not asked for by the interviewers, possibly because they hardly exist. 

The visible to near-infrared spectral region (375-740 or 680-1080 nm, resolution < 10 nm) is the domain of a micro spectrometer presented by the Institut fur Mikrotechnik Mainz [121]. This device (overall dimensions 16 x 28 x 38 mm) is commercially available but not yet adapted to direct inline measurements in a plant (Figure 4.72).
