Micromixer-tube reactor plants have been employed both at laboratory and pilot-scale [30]. For initial process development, a triangular ( focusing ) interdigital micromixer was used (Fig. 6.18), while for the pilot scale-out a caterpillar mixer was connected to four tubes of different hydraulic diameter by a five-port valve. 

This system is a chip version of three dimensional micro mixer-tube reactor setups [21]. It comprises a triangular interdigital micro mixer with a focusing zone that thins the multi-lamellae and a subsequent reaction channel that is surrounded... 

Geometric focusing via triangular-shaped focusing chambers using horizontal co-flow injection schemes has become state-of-the-art for interdigital mixers (see Figure 1.77) [20, 35, 37,124],...
