Scale-up processes : iterative methods for the chemical, mineral and biological industries / edited by Jamal Chaouki and Rahmat Sotudeh-Gharebagh.

Common scale-up methods are conventional where the blind piloting is essential. This imposes huge investment and leads to failures mostly in solid processing. However, the limitations of resources, current shortcomings, short time-to-market demand are forced companies to minimize piloting. With thes...
