Hydrogenation: Chemicals and Life Sciences

 
  October 31, 2016  
     
 
CfPA-The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
December 13, 2016 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)


Who Should Attend?
This online training is intended for engineers, scientists and managers in chemicals and life sciences. Catalytic hydrogenation processes, first discovered in the late 1800’s by Paul Sabatier, are an important reaction that finds wide industrial applications. Today we find catalytic hydrogenation in 10-20% of the reactions to produce chemicals, from commodity chemicals, specialty and fine chemicals, and very broadly in life science for pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, vitamins, flavors and fragrances, cosmetics and other food products. Techniques now used in commodity chemicals have migrated into life sciences as intensification. Professionals in the following areas will benefit greatly from the training: 
  • R&D 
  • Process development
  • Laboratory experimentalists 
  • Pilot plant design and operation
  • Scale up and commercial operations 

Course Description
This 90-minute accredited course will cover Hydrogenation in the Life Science and Biotech Areas. After discussing the basics including safety and commonly used batch reactors, the course will move on to hydrogenation catalyst types and their scale up with examples. Material will conclude with regulatory impacts and examples, lab and pilot and plant tips, new developments including process intensification, and different approaches to biotech hydrogenation with examples.

Invited Speakers:
John Super, President and Principal Consultant, Cobroko Solutions

John Super has been President and Principal Consultant of Cobroko Solutions since 2014. As a consultant, John identifies, recommends among alternatives and assists to commercialize (scale up) new processes and products, among many other contributions for his clients. He specializes often in the area of hydrogenation, using his extensive knowledge and experience. John has been in the plants solving problems in many types of hydrogenators.

In 2014 he was elected as AIChE Fellow, recognizing his may professional accomplishments and contributions to the profession. He was a DuPont Engineering Fellow capping a 28 year career with DuPont in various roles. As a Senior DuPont Consultant and Engineering Fellow he practiced hydrogenation catalysis and scale up.

Since DuPont he was in senior leadership positions as VP of technology, process development, business development, and catalysis in emerging companies or Mid Cap ones and also KBR Technology Center Director for four years. In some of those positions managed either contract hydrogenation technology or scale up of novel hydrogenation processes.

John graduated from Lafayette College with BSChE and from University of Pennsylvania with MSChE (Chemical and Biochemical). He is a Professional Engineer licensed in NJ, DE and TX.
