Nine-channel microstructured reactor

Following extensive laboratory studies at the University of Durham, UK, on the direct fluorination of ethyl 3-oxobutanoate in formic add, scale-out was made from a three- to a nine-channel microstructured reactor, in cooperation with Asahi Glass Co. in Yokohama, Japan [60],... 

The process was performed for many months yielding 700 g of monofluorinated product with a nine-channel microstructured reactor [60]. A continuous 150 h operation was performed without decline of yield or conversion. Even in the scale-out to a 30-channel reador (see Figure 5.27), no loss in performance was noticed. A single feed system distributed the reactants and reagents to the various microchannels.
