Archived: Scale-Up: What Goes Wrong? Short Course

Date: 18 September - 19 September 2023

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 18th September | 2.30pm – 4.45pm BST
and
Tuesday 19th September | 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. These will take place at the following time each day:

Who should attend this on line course:

Process development chemists and chemical engineers

Discovery chemists who would like a window in to the world or process development

Anyone involved in scaling up chemical processes.

This is the most helpful short virtual training for me so far.

I find these courses very valuable for continuing education, especially for some of our younger engineers and chemists with limited experience in scaleup of chemical processes.
