Data comparing the loop reactor (LR) technology with other reactor technologies is provided to demonstrate that LR’s are also in practise yielding the highest specific mass transfer performance momentarily available. Typical areas of application and possible operating concepts of the Advanced BUSS ® Loop reactor technology (ABLR) are discussed, as well as the benefit of an early involvement of an external specialist during process optimisation. Introduction Process intensification has recently received widespread attention because of its potential to achieve significant reduction in capital costs as well as its ability to improve reaction yields. Furthermore, many of the safety, health and environmental concerns can benefit from the inventory reduction, improved containment possibilities, enhanced selectivity, and increased heat and mass transfer rates achieved by using process intensification technologies. Process intensification is no longer just the realm of high volume chemicals production, but can be equally applied to small volume specialty production. As well as reducing capital cost, process intensification also offers other potential benefits. Matching the
