Abstract

The dissertation develops criteria for process pilot plant design based on practical pilot plant development experience in the process industry. These criteria are presented along with pilot plant design limitations, commercial scale-up requirements and special design techniques. Real-life examples are presented. Effective consideration of the design criteria reduces pilot plant construction schedules, capital operating cost and safety problems, while insuring good process performance and data for commercial design.
