Quality Improvements in Unit Operations

 
  June 16, 2015  
     
 
CfPA-The Center for Professional Advancement, Houston, TX
November 9-10, 2015


Who Should Attend?
Engineers, scientists and technical personnel should attend who are looking for understanding of

  • Fundamental First Principles
  • Equipment & Possible Retrofits
  • Operations & Operational Changes

for the following processes. These processes are

  • filtration 
  • atomization
  • drying
  • crushing and grinding
  • agglomeration

This course is intended to assist those in the processes industries including those in the Petrochemical and Chemical Process Industries, Specialty Chemicals, Agrichemicals, Waste Management.

Course Description
This course covers the basic principles of unit operations listed above and reviews the equipment, operating conditions, process measurements and control of each unit operation. The basic questions for all of these areas are the Questions of Quality Improvements. As the course covers the various unit operations, we will seek answers to these questions.

The Questions of Quality Improvements include:

Are using your equipment correctly?
Can you use your equipment in a better manner?
How should your equipment operate?
What retrofits can be accomplished?
What can you do to enhance quality?
What should your process be?
What are the “simple things” that you have missed?
Why you do “things” the way you do?

Quality improvements mean higher profits

Invited Speakers:
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.
