Abstract

Turning a process idea into an operational plant always has been an exciting task. A good balance between experiments in different scales and theoretical considerations has to be found. Thus, collaboration of different technical disciplines is essential to go from lab-scale to commercial scale solving questions that arise along the way. Besides working on technical details it is essential to manage risks, overcome drawbacks and fulfil requirements of budget and schedule. The chapter summarizes considerations for the different stages of process development complemented by practical examples from successfully realized high pressure applications.
