CfPA-The Center for Professional Advancement, Houston, TX
September 22-23, 2014
Who Should Attend
This course is intended to assist professionals in the processes industries such as the Petrochemical and Chemical Process Industries, Specialty Chemicals, Agrichemicals and Waste Management.
Engineers, scientists and technical personnel should attend who are looking for an understanding of:
• Principles
• Equipment
• Operation
• Measurements and Control
For the following processes:
• Filtration
• Atomization
• Drying
• Crushing & Grinding
• Agglomeration Description
This 2-day intensive course covers the basic principles of the unit operations listed and reviews the equipment, operating conditions, process measurements and control of each unit operation. In particular the discussions will be focused on Filtration, Drying, Atomization, Crushing and Grinding, and Agglomeration.
A better understanding of each of these operations will improve production, product quality, safety, and enhance profits while reducing costs. This training will give a better understanding of the process needs and objectives, principles of operation, typical equipment and process measurement and control. Additional information includes discussions in troubleshooting, process failure modes and operating limits.

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 all areas covered in this course 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 mechanics to such work. He has over 38 refereed publications and three texts: Fluid Mixing and Gas Dispersion in Agitated Tanks, Scaling and Design for Industrial Mixing Processes and Process Scaleup and Design. The first is a fundamental text on mixing and gas dispersion operations. The second is a general "self-help" text for industry on process scaleup, power, heat transfer, mixing, gas-liquid contacting, solid suspension etc. The third is a text on scaleup of processes in general. These books provide the novice with the knowledge necessary to design and scaleup multiphase processing.
