Prof. Chaouki and Prof. Sotudeh-Gharebagh gathered all the essential and critical information about scale-up processes in this book. Common scale-up methods are conventional where the blind piloting is essential. This imposes huge investment and leads to failures mostly in solid processing. However, the limitations of resources, current shortcomings, short time-to-market demand are forced companies to minimize piloting. With these situations i...

All of Prof. Chaouki's research is based on one principle: converting problems into innovations. For Prof. Chaouki, the 4th industrial revolution is not only that of Industry 4.0, but also that electrification of the industry through the production of renewable energy at a low cost. Prof. Chaouki: "With electricity, we can heat, do electrolysis; we can transform it into mechanical energy to move parts in a mechanism, ” Read the full art...
