CfPA-The Center for Professional Advancement, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
5-6 March 2015
Who Should Attend
This course combines atomization and spray drying. Professionals in the chemical, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, agricultural sprays, petrochemical, biochemical, food, pulp and paper, combustion, medical areas and other high tech industries are encouraged to attend. Those involved with drying and with spray-dependent processes, including chemical reactors, coatings, spray drying, powder metallurgy, evaporative cooling, specialty chemicals, combustion and medical sprays, will benefit. Engineers involved in specialty chemical manufacture, pilot plants, process and project design, waste processing and waste minimization should attend. The training will be especially valuable to:
• Biotechnologists
• Coating Engineers
• Food Technologists
• Combustion Engineers
• Agricultural Engineers
Description
The first day of this intensive course provides an introduction to atomization for engineers, scientists and technologists. Key areas covered include the various atomization methods, atomizer design, factors affecting operation, flow in atomizers, drop size, spray angle and other spray characteristics, atomizer performance criteria, atomizer maintenance and drop size distributions. Proper atomizer selection will be emphasized. Nozzles, rotary and two-fluid atomization will be covered.
On day 2, in the spray drying portion, participants will gain a fundamental understanding of the practical designs and operation of spray dryers. They will learn the reasons for drying and the advantages and disadvantages of the spray drying technology. The importance of pilot plant studies, residence time, dryer layout and non-aqueous systems will be emphasized.
