“…The miniaturization results in a considerable intensification of the heat and mass transfer under well‐controlled operating conditions due to high surface‐to‐volume ratios . However, some promises could not be maintained in our own and other studies of such concepts . It has been shown that the distribution problems are often large, particularly in the case of multi‐phase flows, in which the volumetric efficiency does not hold up to the promises and the economy is questioned for larger technical applications with a large number of parallel structures.…”

The process industry faces the challenges of intensified, global competition with increasing market dynamics. Modular, transformable production concepts promise a better adaption to these in the dimensions of throughput, product mix, and production location. In order to unfold the full potential, modularization and transformability have to be carried out not only on the plant and logistics level, but also on the apparatus level. Characteristics like setup and scaling concepts are discussed. Examples for modular apparatuses concerning the process engineering tasks of mixing, heat exchange, reaction and separation are presented and further research needs are derived.

Fast process development, flexible production and the utilization of advanced process conditions are the main goals of modular and continuous small-scale plants (MCSPs). A configurable layout of the modules and the use of predefined equipment enable a quick and reliable conceptual process development and scale-up of continuous processes. Therefore, a computer-assisted selection methodology was developed and is presented, which allows the quick selection of plug flow reactor equipment for homogeneous liquid phase reactions. It identifies a favorable technical apparatus and the configuration in the early stages of process development. This can lead to the effective planning and guiding of scale-up experiments and closes the gap between lab and process development.

For years, microtechnology is being considered as an emerging technique for chemical engineering tasks to overcome safety issues corresponding to high volumes and gaining higher selectivities and yields in reaction technology. Whereas in reaction technology a broad variety of microstructured equipment is available, in product purification/separation adequate equipment is missing. Research is focused on modular fast and flexible smaller production plants being operated continuously instead of batchwise in order to reduce engineering efforts and time‐to‐process. To cope with these demands, an appropriate definition of modules, which could be easily chosen and combined, is inevitable. In addition, these modules have to be well characterized concerning fluid dynamics and separation performance. This paper focuses on the characterization of available modules/devices. A standard method and analysis of the results concerning manufacturing accuracy and operation range is proposed. Miniplant technology is described as an efficient tool to validate process concepts proposed by process simulation studies. Necessary model parameters are determined for industrial complex mixtures in miniaturized laboratory equipment. Parameters are calculated model based to gain maximal accuracy. State of the art of miniplant technology is described and basic characteristic data are presented.
