iii) Fill in the blanks

In the past, a pilot plant would be designed based on laboratory data . However,
owing to high cost of a pilot-plant study, this step is beginning to be surpassed in many
instances by designing a full-scale plant from operation of a laboratory-bench-scale unit
called a microplant.
