Paste and High Viscosity Processing

 
  November 14, 2011  
     
 
CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
February 9, 2012 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 and pulp and paper and other high tech industries and who are involved with mixing and multiphase processing in agitated tanks would benefit from this course.

Engineers involved in chemical reactor design, specialty chemical manufacture, biotechnology, fermentation, pilot plants, pharmaceuticals process and project design, waste processing, paint & composite material manufacturing, food processing, pulp and paper processing and waste minimization should attend.

Professionals include:
  • Chemists 
  • Engineers 
  • Pharmacists 
  • Formulation scientists 
  • Biologists 
  • Material scientists

Description
This 90-minute accredited online training course is a detailed introductory course to provide the participant with an appreciation of the complexities involved in paste and high viscosity processing. The fundamentals of processing are applied to industrial operations. Processing will be analyzed for single phase systems in the laminar and creeping flow regimes. Power sources and fluid motions for processing will be reviewed.

Question and Answer Session

 
 
Organized by: CfPA - The Center for Professional Advancement
Invited Speakers: Dr. Gary Tatterson, professor of Chemical Engineering

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 four books, Fluid Mixing and Gas Dispersion in Agitated Tanks , Scaleup and Design of Industrial Mixing Processes, Process Scaleup and Design, and The Business of Scaleup.
