CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
August 30, 2011 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)
Who Should Attend
Dr. Alvin W. Nienow and Dr. Arthur W. Etchells, III have designed this course 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 90-minute accredited online training course is a detailed introductory course to provide the participant with an appreciation of the terminology and phenomena involved in mixing. The participant will be able to recognize mixing equipment and the process result such equipment is designed to achieve. This training will include opportunities for learning assessment.

Dr. Arthur W. Etchells III, retired DuPont Fellow USA
Dr. Etchells is retired from the DuPont Company where he was an internal consultant for many years in the field of mixing for a wide variety of processes including: polymers, pigments, agrichemicals, paints, food and bioprocessing. Since retiring he has been an independent consultant working on a variety of processes including the removal, treatment and vitrification of radioactive slurries. He has done a lot of teaching and publishing and is a contributor to theHandbook of Industrial Mixing, Wiley 2004.
Dr. Alvin W. Nienow, Emeritus Professor of Biochemical Engineering, University of Birmingham, U.K.
Dr. Nienow has won awards in Europe and USA for his work on mixing. He has published over 400 papers on the fundamentals of mixing (solid/liquid and liquid/liquid systems) and particularly on its role in bioprocessing (gas/liquid mixing in low viscosity and complex fluids and the impact of stresses (shear)). He also consults internationally including for the Fluid Mixing Processes Consortium (FMP) since its inception. He is an editor of the well known book, Mixing in the Process Industries and also a contributor to The Handbook of Industrial Mixing.
