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 all having consulted, taught, undertaken research and written extensively for many years while remaining at the forefront of developments. All will be present throughout, giving participants the opportunity to hear several 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.

Dr. Alvin W. Nienow; Professor of Biochemical Engineering, University of Birmingham, U.K.
Dr. Alvin W. Nienow is Emeritus Professor of Biochemical Engineering, The University of Birmingham (U.K.) and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. He has published over 300 papers on the fundamentals of solid/liquid mixing, applicable to crystallization and precipitation; gas/liquid mixing in low viscosity and complex fluids (bioprocesses); liquid/liquid systems (including phase inversion) (food processing); and three-phase mixing (slurry reactors and mineral processing). He has won several awards including The 2003 EFChEWP on Mixing Lifetime Award. He also consults for companies and research laboratories including the Fluid Mixing Processes Consortium (FMP). He is an editor of the well known book, Mixing in the Process Industries, now in its 2nd edition in paperback.
