Services / Technology Scale-Up

Scale Intelligence™ for technologies moving beyond the lab stage.

Fytorne supports the scale-up of new processes by turning laboratory and operating evidence into an engineering basis for pilot and commercial scale.

Scale-up is more than increasing flowrate. Heat and mass transfer, mixing, residence time, pressure drop, reaction behaviour, fouling, control and equipment geometry can change the way a process performs. Fytorne uses Scale Intelligence™ to understand those effects before they are fixed into a commercial design.

Scale Intelligence™

Scale Intelligence™ is Fytorne’s toolkit for moving a chemical or energy technology from laboratory work towards pilot and commercial design. It combines scaling laws, advanced models and operating data to determine what will change as throughput, equipment size and operating time increase. We use it to test whether yield, product quality and stable operation can be maintained, and to identify where process performance may become limiting.

Approach

Focused Test Programmes

Separate questions that can be answered through modelling, from those that require physical testing.

Decision-Driven Loops

Every test is tied to a specific design decision, continually improving the predictive models.

Commercial Readiness Basis

The final scale-up basis sets out how the commercial process will perform and its limits.

Principle

Commercial scale should be earned through evidence

Scale Intelligence™ gives technology developers and project teams a clear line from test results to engineering decisions.
