pilot scale experiments

What Challenges are Associated with Pilot Scale Experiments?

Some common challenges include:
Heat and Mass Transfer: Scaling up can affect heat and mass transfer rates, potentially impacting reaction efficiency.
Catalyst Deactivation: Larger scales may accelerate catalyst deactivation due to impurities or higher operating stresses.
Reactor Fouling: Fouling of the reactor can occur more readily at larger scales, affecting performance.
Cost: Pilot scale experiments can be expensive, requiring significant investment in equipment and materials.
