Scale-Up: What Goes Wrong? Short Course
Date: 29 April - 30 April 2024
Location: Online Platform
Tutors: Dr John Studley
This is an online short course and will look at the reasons why reactions don’t always scale-up as expected, using real-life examples from industry. The course will be in two sections of 60-90 minutes held over two consecutive days as follow:
Monday 29th April | 2.30pm – 4.45pm BST
and
Tuesday 30th April | 2.30pm – 5.00pm BST
This short course will look at the reasons why reactions don’t always scale-up as expected, using real-life examples from industry. Some theory on mixing and related topics (such as heat transfer) will be covered along with useful tips on which types of reactions are likely to cause problems.
The use of simple laboratory scale experiments to anticipate scale-up problems will be included. Case studies will be used to show how companies have avoided or corrected scale-up problems.
When you register you will be sent links to join the on-line sessions.

Testimonials
Scale-Up
Great as a refreshed for people working in Industry to recall what might go wrong during sale up processes
Scale-Up
It is highly relevant to anyone working at scale or who wants to scale up a process; highlighting the most likely pitfalls and with plenty of past examples and their respective solutions.
