Advanced Simulation to Solve & Optimize Process Development Problems

A common challenge in process industries, which comprise of food, pharmaceutical, materials and biotech industries is to bring new products to market in a time and cost effective manner. Mixing is one of the most important unit operations in the production. Poor mixing can cause losses of millions of Dollars/Euros the chemical. Understanding of transport processes (fluid flow, heat transfer & mass transfer)is key for design, troubleshooting and exploring optimum operating conditions.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and particle modeling with Discrete Element Method (DEM) have been identified as key enabling technologies in finding solutions to many of the challenges that surround scale-up; capable of reducing operating costs across manufacturing and quality divisions.

What will we discuss: Fluid flow and hydrodynamic behavior in stirred vessels, Dispersing gas and solids in liquids, Behavior of high viscosity fluids, Fluid structure interactions in mixing vessels etc., Optimization of process equipment.

Who Should Attend?: This workshop is also open to all professors and students who would like to learn how they can use CFD in their senior projects or research projects.

If you are a chemical process engineer, manager who wants to optimize current processes in ways it was never possible before, this event will help you understand the applicability of deploying simulation to achieve these objectives. If you are already using CFD in your engineering work flow, this session will demonstrate that it is not a single point simulation but rather the ability to rapidly and intelligently explore a host designs and processes that brings the most value from simulation.
