Utilizing pilot plant operations for new chemical process technology development: A roadmap to scale up success and commercial plant safety

AVN Corp.: Clark, B.  |  Nunley, M.  |  Phillips, G.

Identifying where potential safety, technical risks or uncertainties may occur is always a key goal in evaluating a new process.
