Suitability - Who should attend?
Who should attend?
This course is suitable for you if you’re:
- a R&D scientist working in industries such as pharmaceuticals, detergents, foods, agrochemicals or pigments and you’re working in product formulation and need a broad overview of the subject of spray drying and atomisation
- a scientist or chemical engineer who would value a deeper understanding of how science can be applied to real spray-drying problems
- a process technologist, plant manager, involved in R&D or a process technician who needs a thorough practical grounding in the subject of spray drying and how it can influence the properties of formulated products
- A plant or process engineer from contract manufacturer who is seeking process improvements and efficiencies.
- a university researcher who requires a deeper insight into real industrial problems, unmet needs and potential new research themes.
Outcome / Qualification etc.
On completion of this course you will:
- gain an appreciation of how the choice of formulation composition can impact processing and produce quality
- understand how fluid properties, rheology and atomisation performance can have an influence on spray drying through watching pre-recorded practical lab demonstrations
- learn how to manipulate drying parameters to influence product microstructure, materials properties and quality parameters
- gain an appreciation of the hazards involved in spray drying and how to ensure safe operation
- learn how spray drying processes can be scaled up and appreciate the possible pitfalls on scaling up
- understand how spray drying principles can be applied to the manufacture of real industrial formulated products for economic and better preforming processes as well as improved product performance and quality
- find out how spray drying can be used as an alternative to freeze drying
- get an insight into how challenges are tackled across different industries
- learn how to choose and design appropriate equipment such as atomisers and towers for laboratory, pilot and production-scale spray-drying.
