Mixing of Liquids and Complex Materials

 
  January 14, 2010  
     
 
CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
23-26 March 2010


Who Should Attend
This course is for individuals in process industries such as pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetic, mineral, environmental, polymer, biological, food and paper where mixing or formulation (often of complex materials) is undertaken in stirred vessels or other mixing equipment. These professionals include, but are not limited to:

  • Chemists 
  • Engineers
  • Pharmacists 
  • Formulation scientists
  • Biologists 
  • Material scientists

The course will benefit those concerned with scale-up, design, development, research or production.

Description
This popular course presents the fundamentals of mixing and shows how they can be applied to a selection of commercial operations, taking into account the most recent developments in research and practice. The lectures will cover the basics of turbulence, rheology and interfacial phenomena. Building on these basic concepts, mixing processes will be analyzed for single phase systems of low and high viscosity and complex rheology. Solid/liquid, gas/liquid and liquid/liquid systems (including interfacial phenomena) will be analyzed. Design and performance relationships for mixing equipment will be developed and scale-up issues addressed.

Examples will be presented involving mixing and scale-up of precipitation, crystallization, fermentation, food processing, chemical and polymer reactions. Sessions will be supplemented by videos, case studies and discussion of problems presented by participants.

The course faculty has extensive experience having consulted, taught, undertaken research and written extensively for many years while remaining at the forefront of developments. Both will be present throughout the course, giving participants the opportunity to hear two views on a particular topic and participants are encouraged to discuss their own interests, experiences and problems during the course. These discussions are very popular.
