For example, the benefits of implementing flow chemistry at smaller commercial scales have been discussed for over a decade, and yet the reality is that new products continue to be realised through batch processes. Economies of scale and the two-thirds rule dominate the approach to large-volume, commodity chemicals, leading to highly centralised production, reliance on long-established process routes, and incremental improvements.
