| Dr. Gary B. Tatterson; Professor, Chemical Engineering, North Carolina A&T State University |
Dr. Gary B. Tatterson is a recognized leader in the areas of process scale-up, mixing and process design for industry. He brings to this program fourteen years of teaching a highly successful scale-up course in the US and Europe as well as thirty-two years of research and industrial experience in fluid mechanics, mixing, multiphase processing, plant design and scale-up. As a consultant, he has worked on design problems for numerous companies, including Mead Paper Co., Wilson Great Batch, Akzo Coatings America, B.J. Services, Raytheon, Texaco, E.I. du Pont, Rohm & Haas and Colgate.
Dr. Tatterson has written extensively in the area of scale-up, mixing and contacting. With over thirty-eight publications in mixing and contacting, Dr. Tatterson emphasizes a fundamental and practical approach to scale-up issues. He has written three texts:
1) FLUID MIXING AND GAS DISPERSION IN AGITATED TANKS
2) SCALE-UP AND DESIGN OF INDUSTRIAL MIXING PROCESSES
3) PROCESS SCALE-UP AND DESIGN
Currently, Dr. Tatterson is developing a text in the general area of unit operations in chemical engineering, which will cover areas such as wheel, two fluid and nozzle atomization, spray drying, agglomeration, size reduction and filtration.
Dr. Tatterson is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the North Carolina A&T State University, where he teaches thermal sciences, plant design, solids handling, food processing, mixing and process scale-up courses. His courses follow the philosophy of fundamental and practical understanding that is basic to good processing and engineering practice.

The course will cover the different scale-up methods and how to establish viable process objectives. A general scale-up method is presented and a number of examples are worked as illustrations. Scale-up traps and pitfalls are reviewed as well as ways to avoid these. The importance of process objectives will be emphasized. Basic concepts of importance are reviewed using different areas as examples. Power analysis will be presented as a useful tool in scale-up. Examples will show how to use the power analysis in applications and to establish the controlling mechanisms. Detailed suggestions for pilot studies will be given. Scale-up in the mixing and contacting area is reviewed. Equipment, operating conditions, optimum designs and processing conditions will be discussed. Methods to perform process translation in mixing will be developed and examined as to their practicality. Correlations and data use will be reviewed for process accuracy and use in pilot studies. Pitfalls and the use of analogies in solving processing problems will be discussed.
