Abstract:
1. A scalable microreactor comprising: a) a multilayered reaction block comprising: b) a reactor input manifold coupled to the first face of the multilayered reaction block, the reactor input manifold comprising: wherein the reactor input manifold is configured so that each reaction channel inlet of the multilayered reaction block is aligned and in fluid communication with at least one pair of interdigitated distribution channels; c) a reactor output manifold coupled to the second block face, the reactor output manifold comprising: d) a heat exchange input manifold coupled to the third face of the multilayered reaction block, the heat exchange input manifold comprising at least one heat exchange input chamber that is positioned to receive a heat exchange feed stream and is in fluid communication with the plurality of heat exchange channel inlets of the multilayered reaction block; and e) a heat exchange output manifold coupled to the fourth face of the multilayered reaction block, the heat exchange output manifold comprising at least one heat exchange output chamber that is positioned to receive a heat exchange output stream and is in fluid communication with the plurality of heat exchange channel outlets of the multilayered reaction block.
