APACT 09 (Advances in Process Analytics and Control Technology) - METTLER TOLEDO

May 5, 2009 - May 7, 2009
Hilton Hotel
Glasgow
Scotland

Process analysis and control technologies are increasingly important to manufacturing companies in the pharmaceuticals, chemicals, petrochemicals, biotechnology, food and other industries. The financial, safety and environmental benefits of Process Analysis and Control (PAC) are proving powerful incentives and increasing numbers of companies want to participate in the PAC revolution. In-process measurements and real-time data analysis are also increasing in importance at the discovery and development stages, when attempting to reduce time-to-market through “quality by design”, achieved by acquisition of better fundamental knowledge of a process.

Visit our tabletop exhibit to see the latest technologies available for process analytics and control technology and discuss your requirements with our experts.

Design and Control of Quality Chemical Processes
Process Analytical Technology (PAT) has been implemented for years, particularly by the chemical industry for the control of chemical processes. More recently, Process Analytical Technology has become a cornerstone of the US Food and Drug Administration’s (US FDA) Quality by Design (QbD) initiative for both the design and control of quality processes. For this reason, the pharmaceutical industry is also active in utilizing Process Analytical Technology (PAT) tools. PAT tools can be implemented in both the lab and the plant, with laboratory PAT focused more on the design of a quality process and with plant PAT focused on the monitoring and control of the process.

APACT 09 (Advances in Process Analytics and Control Technology)
APACT 09 is an open forum for the presentation and discussion of recent advances in engineering and scientific topics relevant to process analytics and control technologies. Plenary and keynote speakers will describe the formulation and implementation of PAC strategies, review the benefits that can be achieved, and report recent developments. The conference provides opportunities for academics and industrialists to present their knowledge and research. The programme will include contributed lectures, poster presentations and a vendor exhibition. The meeting is an ideal forum for networking and information gathering on PAC.

Can't attend? As part of the METTLER TOLEDO commitment to continuing education in Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and Quality by Design (QbD), we offer complimentary educational webinars that explore the industry and application information relevant to Chemists and Chemical Engineers.
