Abstract
Fast process development, flexible production and the utilization of advanced process conditions are the main goals of modular and continuous small-scale plants (MCSPs). A configurable layout of the modules and the use of predefined equipment enable a quick and reliable conceptual process development and scale-up of continuous processes. Therefore, a computer-assisted selection methodology was developed and is presented, which allows the quick selection of plug flow reactor equipment for homogeneous liquid phase reactions. It identifies a favorable technical apparatus and the configuration in the early stages of process development. This can lead to the effective planning and guiding of scale-up experiments and closes the gap between lab and process development.
Highlights
In recent public funding projects (e.g., F3 Factory [1], CoPIRIDE [2]), the first examples of modular and continuously operated small-scale plants (MCSPs) have been evaluated and confirmed to be beneficial in a technical and economical manner [3,4]
Individual MCSPs can be fitted into ISO transport containers if the preassembly of the plant, location flexibility and an easy process redesign are of some importance
In order to demonstrate the stepwise approach of the presented reactor selection methodology, a simplified example based on a well-known reaction from the literature—synthesis of the ionic liquid (IL), ethylmethylimidazole ethyl sulfate [EMIM][EtSO4] (Figure 3) [27,28]—will be presented in the following chapter
