But we will use this equipment it will be a very good approach to use the same equipment with low volume.” If you’re using the same equipment with a low volume and you’re using the same velocity in the low volume and big volume, then it is completely different mixing parameter. You go to production and people tell you, “Okay, you know, this is the equipment we will involve in the production.” And they told you, “but we don’t have enough raw material. When we’re working on different regimes of mass transfer mechanisms, we are at a completely different mixing scenario, which will generate deviations in our research. So, if you’re working in the lab with low velocity, high probability it will be a laminar regime, whereas if we go to the next step with normal velocity and obtain a high Reynolds number, then we will be in a turbulent regime. If you want to have the same performance or the same mixing pattern, then you need to coordinate between the mixing parameters that will generate in small equipment to big equipment. When you’re in the lab, you have very small equipment, whereas in a production environment you go from tens of liters to hundreds or thousands of liters hence, you’re increasing the dimensions. What are the main considerations when we talk about scale-up in transfer processes?ġ.
