Agitator Design Principles for Bioprocessing and Pharmaceutical Applications
(13 PDH)
Product Description
This 2-day course presents a rather intense introduction to the major principles of agitator process design, as applied to liquid and gas-liquid systems as commonly found in the Bioprocessing and Pharmaceutical industries. A brief introduction is given to the basics of agitation theory as applicable, but the emphasis is on practical application of theory, rather than as an academic treatise. Specific guidelines are given for major industry applications, and sanitary aspects are covered as well. The second day is devoted entirely to aerobic fermentation design and scale-up, as this is an area which has been most neglected in seminars of this kind.
Who Should Attend
This is a course for people who must specify, operate, purchase or optimize fluid agitation equipment used for Bioprocessing and Pharmaceutical applications. Such applications include, for example, simple tanks containing CIP solutions, broth and slurry tanks, compounding tanks and fermenters/bioreactors. The application technology ranges from simple to complex, and the construction methods range from standard to highly sanitary. A basic Introduction to general agitator design principles is given, but the focus is specifically on applications found in the Pharmaceutical Bioprocessing Industries.
Having a working knowledge of the terminology and technology used by agitator designers enables the attendee to assume a more active role in the purchase and operation of such equipment, instead of leaving everything in the hands of the vendors. The result can be a lower price paid by specifying clearly what is needed, while avoiding undersized equipment that can cause lost productivity. In the case of fermenters, proper information can even be essential to assure the right product is capable of being made, and that energy costs are minimized. Senior management can see how the agitator design can impact overall production and profit.
