Chemists, biologists and engineers regularly interact and collaborate in process R&D projects. This course gives scientists and other engineering disciplines an introduction to the main aspects of chemical engineering science that will help them realise the importance of the subject. It introduces and describes core principles of chemical engineering and how process technologists can provide data and information to support the chemical engineers in their work.

R&D scientists are often at a disadvantage when working in process research and development because of their lack of knowledge about the basic principles of chemical engineering, and the impact of decisions regarding process yield and selectivity on up- and downstream operations. Other branches of engineering face a similar disadvantage when considering the whole process.

This course has been developed, and is presented, by chemical engineers and chemists who specialise in facilitating knowledge transfer and understanding between  different scientific and engineering disciplines working at the R&D- manufacturing interface. As a result, it does not dwell on the derivation of mathematical formulae or equations used in chemical engineering design, but instead focuses on what other disciplines need to know about the information and data that chemical engineers require for design, scale- up and process troubleshooting.

Chemical engineering without mathematics is impossible, but this course presents only relevant mathematics at a level that should not trouble anyone with a numerate scientific degree. Other disciplines do not need to know how to design plants or equipment and this course does not attempt to teach this. The course focuses on understanding chemical engineering principles to promote clear communication between disciplines, facilitating information and knowledge transfer.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING: What scientists and other engineers need to know

Meet Inspiring Speakers and Experts at our 3000+ Global Events with over 600+ Conferences, 1200+ Symposiums and 1200+ Workshops on Medical, Pharma, Engineering, Science, Technology and Business.

April 29-30, 2019 London, UK

Theme: Explore the development of research in the field of Microbiology

Microbiologists, Scientists, Research Scholars, Industrial professionals, Technologists and Student Delegates from Microbiology and Healthcare sectors are invited to be a part of the esteemed Pharmaceutical Microbiology 2019. 

This year’s conference will showcase the role of microorganisms in the production of antibiotics, enzymes, vitamins, vaccines and drug safety.  We look forward to welcoming you all in London in April.

How to Market Algae Products & Applications whilst Working Together as an Industry and Attracting Durable Investments.

Following the success of its previous editions, ACI’s 9th European Algae Industry Summit (10-11 April, 2019 – Lisbon, Portugal) will explore the ongoing developments of the algae industry.

This new edition will focus on how to market the various algae-based products & applications, with case studies from key actors of each segments bringing forward their experience.

The conference will also take an in-depth look into two important themes: how can the industry work together towards standardisation & regulation for products, and specifically food products; and on the other hand, how to attract investments and create beneficial partnerships. These two topics will be discussed through interactive panel discussions, to ensure a positive exchange with all industry actors involved.

The two day event will offer an in-depth look into the technologies supporting the industry. And the participants will also have the chance to discuss how to keep the industry thriving as a whole during the numerous Q&As, and the extended networking breaks.

Join us in Lisbon for a highly interactive & informative conference, whilst enjoying the networking opportunities with your peers.
