Scale-down process regime analysis

The scale-down approach can be applied both in the case of an existing process and for a new process. In the latter case a process design is made for the new process from available process data, experimental evidence, and rules of thumb. Regime analysis is applied to this process design. Based on the results a further sm l-scale research strategy is developed, and eventually changes are made in the process design. 

Scale-down design based on regime analysis was introduced by Oosterhuis in 1984 [11] in a study of the process for gluconic acid production. Oosterhuis proposed four steps for scaling down ...
