Abstract:
Microcomponent chemical process assembly wherein macroscale unit processes are performed by microscale components. The sheet architecture may be a single laminate (1) with a plurality of separate microcomponent sections (2) or the sheet architecture may be a plurality of laminates (31-36) with one or more microcomponent sections on each laminate. Each microcomponent (2) or plurality of like microcomponents (31-36) perform at least one chemical process unit operation. A first laminate having a plurality of like first microcomponents is combined with at least a second laminate having a plurality of like second microcomponents thereby combining at least two unit operations to achieve a system operation.
