Mixing of Liquids and Complex Materials
24-27 March 2009
Hoofddorp, The Netherlands
Dr. Alvin W. Nienow; Professor of Biochemical Engineering, University of Birmingham, U.K.
Dr. Alvin W. Nienow is Emeritus Professor of Biochemical
Engineering, The University of Birmingham (U.K.) and a Fellow of
the Royal Academy of Engineering. He has published over 300
papers on the fundamentals of solid/liquid mixing, applicable to
crystallization and precipitation; gas/liquid mixing in low viscosity
and complex fluids (bioprocesses); liquid/liquid systems (including
phase inversion) (food processing); and three-phase mixing (slurry
reactors and mineral processing). He has won several awards
including The 2003 EFChEWP on Mixing Lifetime Award. Dr.
Nienow also consults for companies and research laboratories
including the Fluid Mixing Processes Consortium (FMP). He is an
editor of the well-known book, Mixing in the Process Industries,
now in its 2nd edition in paperback.
Dr. Arthur W. Etchells, III
Dr. Arthur W. Etchells, III retired in 2002 from the DuPont
Company, where for thirty of his forty years there, he consulted
internally in the fields of mixing and slurry flow for the entire
company, reaching the highest technical level. He is an adjunct
professor at the University of Delaware where he teaches a
course in mixing. He has published a number of papers on
industrial scale problems, motionless mixers, mixing of non-
Newtonian fluids and mixing in wastewater treatment. He is a past
President of the North American Mixing Forum (NAMF). He now
works as an independent consultant
Dr. John M. Smith
Dr. John M. Smith is Emeritus Professor of Process Engineering at
the University of Surrey (U.K.). His research has included the
mixing of fluids of complex rheology as well as those of low
viscosity. Other fields include gas/liquid reactors operating at
ambient and boiling temperatures. He has published about 150
scientific papers and acts as consultant to several companies in the
United States and Europe. In recognition of his work, in 2000 Dr.
Smith received a Lifetime Achievement award from the Fluid Mixing
Working Party of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering.
