Learn from leading practitioners in the chemical, pharmaceutical, energetics and petroleum companies and leading academic institutions.
In conjunction with the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center and with sponsorship by VisiMix, this conference focuses on the scale-up of chemical processes, including mixing considerations, kinetics, scale-down approaches, process safety and hazard evaluation of chemical processes. In addition, there is a workshop on process safety and scale-up. The 2-day event will feature world renowned speakers who will share their experience and knowledge as well as best practices in process safety: Scale-up of Chemical Processes: - Ray Machado, Air Products - Process Scale-up Strategies Using Calorimetric Data and Modeling
- Shekhar Viswanath, Eli Lilly - Scale Down Techniques for Optimizing Technical Transfer and Process Safety
- Jerry Salan, Nalas Engineering - Process Development Strategies for Energetic Materials
