Training course for the chemical process industry professionals.

The course will review principles of mixing in stirred tanks, provide recommendations for process design and scale- up, plus enable participants to apply these principles and recommendations to their mixing processes/problems. Additionally the course will explain how “MixIT – an enterprise software to predict stirred tank performance” can help facilitate knowledge management, collaboration and use of mixing science within a global organization to accelerate reactor design, process scale up, process optimization and troubleshooting associated with stirred tanks.

This course will consist of one day of instruction covering these topics

- Introduction to mixing in stirred tanks, covers mixing technology & concepts

- Various Impeller types and their applications

- Scale-up rules for various processes

- Mixing of miscible liquids - power dissipation, blend time, flow patterns

- Gas-liquid mixing - gassed power consumption, gas hold-up, gas liquid mass transfer

- Solid-liquid mixing - critical impeller speed for solid suspension, solid-liquid mass transfer

- Use of CFD to address various mixing challenges

- Hands on session with MixIT™ Enterprise Mixing Analysis Tool

- Solving various mixing problems using MixIT™

Training Benefits

This training will provide lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on problem-solving sessions helping you to:

- Classify good and bad mixing

- Predict a priori various mixing parameters using correlations and CFD models
