How do you ensure safe scale-up from laboratory to industrial catalytic processes?
Scaling up from the laboratory to industrial processes involves several safety considerations. Conduct thorough risk assessments at each stage to identify potential hazards. Ensure that all equipment is compatible with the materials and conditions used. Pay attention to reaction exothermicity, pressure buildup, and potential for runaway reactions. Implementing pilot-scale studies can help identify and mitigate risks before full-scale production.
