Scaling Up Mixers

Introduction

What is scale-up and why is it used? These are just a few of the questions you may be asking. Fluid mixing scale-up is a very important tool used in chemical engineering. Scale up of mixers is the process of taking a small batch reaction typically performed in a small pilot scale mixer and increasing it to large-scale production. This is a very complicated process used to increase the production of a product so that it can be sold in the bulk form in today's world markets.
