View Course Outline

Experts in the field have developed this 90-minute training which presents mixing fundamentals and their application to a selection of commercial operations, considering the most recent developments in research and practice. The lectures will cover the basics of turbulence, emulsions, 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 of mixing equipment will be developed, and scale-up issues addressed.

Examples will be presented involving mixing and scale-up in various industries such as food, beverages, pharma, and chemical. Sessions will be supplemented by (recorded) discussion of problems presented by participants and by question-and-answer sessions.
