Upscaling or scale-up is a term taken from the English language (to scale up) that stands for the scaling up of production processes practiced in chemical process engineering. The aim is to set up a technical production plant that can ultimately produce the same products as in initial production, but with significantly larger margins. The correct German translation is "Maßstabsübertragung". However, this term is now almost completely replaced by the English term.
Product and process developments in chemistry often still take place in beakers. However, the findings from this cannot simply be transferred to production. Instead, it is necessary to find suitable technologies and carry out scale-up calculations and feasibility studies.
These influencing variables can have very different effects on a small scale than on a large scale. For example, the heat of reaction, especially in endothermic or exothermic processes, places very different demands on the equipment during scale transfer, so the control behavior of pumps can change in interaction with the peripherals. Heating and cooling times, on the other hand, are often only determined very imprecisely during initial production. If this is not taken into account during scale-up, subsequent chemical production can be characterized by an expansion of the heating and cooling times, which results in an explosion of the total production time.
In addition, the use of conventional laboratory technology such as rod homogenizers or propeller stirrers does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the homogenization times required in the subsequent production process. As a result, product quality can vary significantly between development and production. In order to achieve certain product properties such as texture or viscosity, thickening substances with a low bulk density are used in many processes. These often pose problems for developers in the laboratory, as they frequently lead to heavy dust formation or lump formation. In large-scale production, this can result not only in qualitative and safety-related disadvantages, but also in extremely long stirring times.
Comprehensive process adjustments as part of a systematic scale-up are the only way to ensure that the scale-up functions smoothly and that the same results are ultimately achieved on a production scale as before in the laboratory or in pilot production. Upscaling is therefore one of the most important engineering tasks in chemical process engineering.
During the scale-up, all technical parameters are repeatedly adjusted and optimized until everything fits in the end. For this purpose, so-called dimensionless key figures such as the Reynolds number, the Froude number or the Euler number, for which geometric dimensions play no role, are first determined in a model test in a scaled-down laboratory apparatus. With the help of these key figures, larger-scale pilot production systems can be realized, which allow realistic prototype production and, in some cases, the initial production of small series.
Have you developed a promising process in the laboratory that you want to test on a larger scale? Or are you planning a production expansion for which your existing systems are too small? Then you can benefit from our upscaling expertise. Whether you are a manufacturing company or a prototype manufacturer, we can support you with our expertise in product capacity planning and scale-up from the smallest scale up to the ton scale.
We provide expert and competent support for all process adjustments and optimizations required for upscaling in the chemical industry, in particular the adaptation of your existing formulations, with PhD scientists and our own research laboratory. With known process parameters, defined product specifications and coordinated process steps, we are at your side during scale-up, saving you time and money.
Upscaling is a critical phase in the chemical industry on the way from laboratory or pilot production to mature series production. The transfer from small to large is an immense challenge that requires extensive expertise in areas such as product capacity planning, technical chemistry, process engineering and chemical reaction engineering. At the same time, there are high demands in terms of operational safety, cost-effectiveness, environmental protection and resource-efficient, sustainable production.
With our extensive practical experience, we have the expertise and know-how to help you with this important project. Our company in Leipzig can also support you if it becomes apparent during product capacity planning that the existing production facilities are too small for future requirements and need to be expanded. We leave nothing to chance.
If required, we see ourselves as part of contract research to see what features the end product you want should have, or take a close look at existing recipes. If necessary, we develop various solutions including the respective prototypes, test them together with you and continue to optimize the whole thing until you are satisfied.
In our work, we place great value on discretion and trust. We start with a free initial consultation in which you outline the rough scope of the planned project and the most important questions are clarified. The next step is the declaration of intent and confidentiality. Only then can the contract be drawn up.
We would be happy to inform you in a personal meeting about our comprehensive upscaling options in the chemical industry. Contact us today to arrange an appointment and benefit from our expert knowledge.
