DESIGN AND COST FACTORS

The most important design and cost factors for a mixer/reactor are: throughput temp./pressure requirements Larger mixer/reactors are harder to control, every mistake is more costly, and safety errors are more dangerous. A 10x pilot straregy is a prudent approach. Oftentimes two parallel half size reactors/mixers have an advantage over a single one. Strict temp/pressure requirement, necessaiate auxiliary contraption, and much more complicated control circuitry.
