What are the Benefits of Using Microchannel Reactors in Catalysis?
- Higher Reaction Rates: Improved mass and heat transfer rates enhance overall reaction kinetics. - Scalability: Microchannel reactors can be easily scaled up by numbering up, i.e., operating multiple microchannels in parallel. - Safety: The small volumes involved reduce the risk of hazardous reactions and enable safer handling of toxic or reactive intermediates. - Energy Efficiency: Efficient heat management and precise control reduce energy consumption.
