7. Extrapolating the pilot to industrial scale
7.1 Principle of extrapolation
The aim of extrapolation is to reproduce on an industrial scale the results obtained on a pilot or laboratory scale. Using results obtained on a scale of 1/10 of a m 3 , it is possible to dimension a mixing system on a scale of several m 3 , or even a hundred m 3 .
Extrapolation is based on the principle of similarity, according to which the ratios of one or more parameters are the same on both scales. In the field of agitation, there are many geometric and operating parameters (§
