Course Overview:
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.
Course contents:
· Introduction to stirred tank reactors (30 min)
o Industry applications of stirred tank reactors
o Various types of impeller
· Analyzing a mixing process (1 hour)
o Different methods of analysis
o Introduction to correlation based analysis and CFD analysis
