What Challenges are Associated with Microchannel Reactors?
While microchannel reactors offer many advantages, they also pose certain challenges: - Fabrication Complexity: The precise manufacturing of microchannels can be technically demanding and costly. - Clogging: Small channel dimensions are more prone to blockages, which can hinder reactant flow and reduce efficiency. - Catalyst Loading: Uniformly distributing catalysts within microchannels can be challenging, affecting reaction performance.
