Industrial Process Scale-up

Acknowledgement

I gratefully thank the reviewers of the book for their comments. They were numerous, of high quality and delivered in time. The reviewers are: Prof. Dr. Ir. André B. de Haan, Process Systems Engineering Group, Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, and Dr Hank Vleeming, Senior Consultant, Process Design Center (PDC), The Netherlands.

I am also grateful for the contribution of Hamidreza Bakhtiary-Davijany and Tore Myhrvold of Det Norske Veritas, Norway, presented in Chapter 8. This chapter shows clearly the strength of a risk-based scale-up rationale and thereby supports the overall scale-up risk reduction rationale of the book.
