Mixing of Liquids and Complex Materials

 
  March 14, 2019  
     
 
CfPA-The Center for Professional Advancement, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
21-22 October 2019


Who Should Attend?
This course is for individuals in process industries such as oil, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, specialty chemical, cosmetic, mineral, environmental, polymer, biological, food and paper where mixing or formulation (often of complex materials) is undertaken in stirred vessels or other mixing equipment. These professionals include, but are not limited to:
  • Chemists
  • Engineers
  • Pharmacists
  • Formulation scientists
  • Biologists 
  • Material scientists

The course will benefit those concerned with scale-up, design, development, research or production.

Course Description
Experts in the field have developed this intensive 2-day accredited course which presents mixing fundamentals and their application to a selection of commercial operations, taking into account the most recent developments in research and practice. The lectures will cover the basics of turbulence, emulsions, rheology and interfacial phenomena. Building on these basic concepts, mixing processes will be analyzed for single phase systems of low and high viscosity and complex rheology. Solid/liquid, gas/liquid and liquid/liquid systems (including interfacial phenomena) will be analyzed. Design and performance of mixing equipment will be developed and scale-up issues addressed.

Examples will be presented involving mixing and scale-up in various industries such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals and chemicals. Sessions will be supplemented by discussion of problems presented by participants and by question and answer sessions.
