CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
March 30, 2011 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)
Who Should Attend
Plant process and design engineers and scientists who are employed by the chemical, petrochemical, biochemical, food, pulp and paper and other high tech industries and who are involved with spray drying would benefit from this course. Engineers involved in specialty chemical manufacture, reactor & pilot plants, process and project design, waste processing, food processing, pulp and paper processing and waste minimization should attend. Description
This course is the second of two courses covering spray drying. This course covers psychrometric charts, operating conditions and design of spray dryers. The importance of pilot plant studies, residence time, dryer layout and non-aqueous systems is emphasized. This is a 2-part series. To receive the maximum benefit from this training, the course director recommends that participants attend both sessions. Spray Drying I should be taken prior to this session. Another course, Direct Drying, is also recommended. This training will include opportunities for learning assessment.

Dr. Gary Tatterson, Professor, Chemical Engineering, North Carolina A&T State University
Dr. Gary Tatterson is a professor of Chemical Engineering at North Carolina A&T State University (NC A&T SU) where he teaches full time. Specializing in plant design and various unit operations, Dr. Tatterson has taught individual specialized courses in drying and has been teaching and consulting since 1972.
His scaleup and two plant design courses at NC A&T SU follow a philosophy of fundamental and practical understanding that is important to the proper operation of multiphase processes.
Gary Tatterson has written extensively in the area of multiphase processing and the application the theories of fluid and solid mechanics to such work. He has over 40 refereed publications and three texts. One text is on scaleup of processes in general.
