CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
January 12, 2011 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)
Who Should Attend
This training is intended for professionals in fields such as pharmaceuticals, specialty chemical processing, mineral operations, food processing, animal feeds, fertilizers, candies, cement and biochemical.
Engineers and scientists who are employed in these industries and who are involved with agglomeration would benefit from this course. The novice will be quickly brought "up to speed" and the expert will be exposed to a detailed review of the subjects.
Engineers involved with solids, solids processing, fines processing, solid waste stream manufacturing, mining, ore production, specialty chemical manufacturing, reactor & pilot plants process, project design and waste processing and waste minimization should attend. Engineers involved with plant operations and maintenance will also benefit.
Typical job titles of those who should attend include:Process chemist, Agricultural engineer, Project engineer, Food technologist, Process engineer, Manufacturing engineer, Mechanical engineer, Maintenance engineer, Mining engineer, Chemical engineer and Research engineer. Description
Agglomeration and size enlargement are important processes used in many areas involving solids processing, fines processing and handling, solids transport, storage and feeding. Applications of agglomeration and size enlargement are important factors to many facets in industry. Areas of application include food production, fertilizers manufacturing, mining and ore production, chemical reactor design, pilot plant studies, specialty chemical and pharmaceutical production and ceramics and cement production.
This 90-minute accredited training is an in-depth introduction to agglomeration including a clear overview of the principles of agglomeration.
