摘要
Microreactors have shown their ability to improve chemical processes and routes; however, their integration into chemical production processes depends not only on technical advances. Cost issues and productions logistics play a crucial role, too, and are highlighted with two different case studies. Economical drivers for the pharmaceutical industry are described with emphasis on future development of microprocess engineering.
