Mixing of Liquids and Complex Materials
November 7-9, 2012
New Brunswick, NJ
Who Should Attend
This course is for individuals in process industries such as
pharmaceutical, 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.
Description
This popular and long-standing course presents the
fundamentals of mixing and shows how they can be applied
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, 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
relationships for mixing equipment will be developed and
scale-up issues addressed.
Examples will be presented involving mixing and scale-up of
crystallization, fermentation, food processing, chemical and
polymer reactions. Sessions will be supplemented by videos
and discussion of problems presented by participants and by
question and answers.
The course faculty has extensive experience both having
consulted, taught, undertaken research and written
extensively for many years while remaining at the forefront of
developments. Both will be present throughout, giving
participants the opportunity to hear different views on a
particular topic and participants are strongly encouraged to
discuss their own interests, experiences and problems during
the course. These discussions are very popular
