Chemical Development & Scale-Up in the Fine Chemical & Pharmaceutical Industries
Principles and Practice
Event overview
This course provides a comprehensive foundational overview of industrial chemical process development; the conversion of a synthetic route used for making milligram or gram quantities of a chemical into a process for manufacturing multi-kilogram and tonne quantities.
A logical investigative approach to all aspects of chemical development is described, with an abundance of case studies from literature, conferences and private communications. The multi-disciplinary nature of chemical development is emphasised, from the initial interaction with laboratory research scientists to the vital partnership with chemical engineers in the pilot plant and in the production environment.
Written and presented by highly experienced process chemists from the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industry, the lectures are interspersed with interactive problem sessions, enabling participants to share in the problem solving and troubleshooting typically experienced during chemical development.

Course Outline
The course comprises 15 one-hour lectures, delivered over five interactive sessions. Each lecture will be followed by dedicated time for Q&A, idea sharing, and problem-solving to foster a collaborative learning environment. The main topics include:
- Introduction
- Route Design
- Route Selection
- Safety Testing
- Heat Flow
- Process Understanding
- Process Optimization
- Statistical Methods
- Solvents
- Work-Up
- Mixing
- Scale-Up
- Control
- Crystallization and Solid Form
- Continuous Manufacturing
Benefits of Attending
AT THE END OF THE COURSE PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE GAINED:
- A logical investigative approach to chemical development and optimisation.
- An insight into the factors involved in development and scale-up.
- An appreciation of chemical engineering concepts, particularly mixing, heat transfer and process control.
- A preliminary knowledge of statistical methods of optimisation.
- Improved ability to decide which parts of the chemical process to examine in detail
- Ideas for efficient resource allocation
- Improved troubleshooting and problem solving ability
Who Should Attend
- Young Chemists who have just started work in industry as development chemists
- Organic Chemists/Medicinal Chemists in Research and Development who would like to gain an appreciation of development and scale up and who are perhaps contemplating moving into chemical development.
- Development and Production Chemists in industry who would like to improve their efficiency and gain an insight into alternative approaches to chemical development.
- Chemical Engineers who wish to understand a chemist’s approach to chemical development of batch processes. (Engineers would, however, need a good grounding in organic chemistry)
- Students who are about to enter the industry and can obtain company sponsorship.
- Experienced Chemists looking to refresh and/or augment their knowledge of chemical development
- Analytical Chemists who wish to gain a broader appreciation of process chemistry
- Managers who might benefit from a comprehensive and up to date overview of chemical development
