Millistructured reactors

The Development of Millistructured Reactors for High Temperature and Short Time Contact... 

MSRs have found their role in laboratories for analytical and chemical synthesis purposes (Scheme 34.2). Regarding the advantages mentioned in the previous sections, an overview of the use of micro- and millistructured reactors and the corresponding catalyst for the production of some chemicals, synthesis gas, and different fuels will be described. However, the process has to be scaled up to bring laboratory results into commercial production. To this end, a versatile... 

Regarding the potential commercial use of millistructured reactors, one of the main aspects to be considered is its possible integration in industrial processes. In this context, not only the design of the reactor but also the way in which it interacts with the different equipment linked to it in terms of mass and heat balances should be taken into account. For the latter purpose, process simulation software such as Aspen HYSYS, Aspen Plus, PROMAX, UNISIM, and/or...
