1. The challenges of miniaturization
Joëlle AUBIN is a chemical engineer from the University of Sydney, and holds doctorates from the INPT and the University of Sydney. She is a research fellow at CNRS.
Catherine XUEREB is an engineer from Toulouse's École nationale supérieure d'ingénieurs de génie chimique and holds a doctorate from the INPT. She is a research director at CNRS.
Both work at the Toulouse Chemical Engineering Laboratory UMR 5503 INPT/CNRS/UPS.
Miniaturization does not come naturally to process engineers. Culturally, the approach is rather to start with mechanisms, transformations and reactions obtained on a small scale – usually that of the bench – and then to extrapolate, often by going through stages on pilots, to arrive at a proposal for a large-capacity industrial installation.
