The objective of scale-up in reactor design is to determine a criterion or criteria on which to base the transfer of the laboratory scale into a full-scale commercial unit. Before proceeding from a laboratory to an industrial scale, additional investigations are required. However, it is difficult to define these additional steps to gather all the information as promptly as possibe and at minimum cost. The methodology of process development leading to scale-up becomes the principal factor for the success of the operation. In achieving this purpose, experiments are classified into three main types laboratory, pilot plant, and demonstration units.
