The most important component to successful commercialization of a product involves the transfer of laboratory scale technologies to the next stage: pilot scale-up. At this stage, scalable equipment and processing conditions are identified in order to optimally predict large-scale manufacturing results once commercial quantities of product are needed.
The parameters that are studied during pilot scale-up include:
-
Proper materials of construction for requisite equipment.
-
Temperature and Pressure profiles.
-
Appropriate chemical product selection considering both cost and regulatory concerns.
-
Study of residence times for critical reaction steps.
-
Necessary transfer techniques for the addition of reagents.
-
Determination of product throughputs and reaction yields.
