Abstract This study addresses the scalability of in-house designed, and 3D printed structured porous reactors for liquid-liquid reactions. The base structure of these porous reactors consists of cylindrical fibres in defined geometrical arrangements. Their scale-up was realized by increasing the reactor diameter by a factor of 1.5 and 2 respectively while keeping the fibre dimensions constant. Also, the effect of altering the fibre dimensions in proportion to the scale-up factor was assessed. The reactors were characterized in terms of their biphasic heat and mass transfer properties. In stratified flow, the scaled-up structured porous reactors exhibited high interfacial mass transfer coefficients (kLa) at residence times
