This short course will look at the reasons why reactions don’t always scale-up as expected, using real-life examples from industry. Some theory on mixing and related topics (such as heat transfer) will be covered along with useful tips on which types of reactions are likely to cause problems.

This is a online short course which will look at reducing the burden of solvents, importance of solvent selection, and how to reduce solvent use and select solvents with a better safety and environmental profile.

The course objective is to enable participants to understand the fundamental science and engineering principles underlying process plant cleaning performance and will be covered over 3 x 3-hour sessions, combining extensive input from the course tutor, Britest Senior Innovation Specialist Rob Peeling, with ample opportunities for interactive discussion and exploration of common issues and shared experiences with fellow online trainees.

In this course, the basics of chemical process safety are explained, always starting from the underlying chemistry. A lot of emphasis will be put on heat and gas evolution, how they affect the inherent process safety and how they can be measured in the lab. Basic scale-up calculations for both gas and heat evolution will be explained using examples and exercises. Guidelines will be given to prevent possible issues with heat transfer at larger scale. The importance of stability data of chemicals, reaction mixtures and products will be explained, together with different tools to determine them experimentally. Background will be provided to understand and interpret the results of reaction calorimetry and thermal stability experiments. Safety aspects of upstream or downstream processes like storage and waste streams will be discussed. The safety benefits of flow chemistry will be explained, and the specific safety evaluation needed for such flow processes will be explored as well.

One of the main barriers that prevents a wider use of synthetic electrochemistry is a lack of specific training of most organic and process chemists. This course will cover the practical principles of organic electrochemistry, a wide range of synthetic applications and the strategies and experimental setups for the scale-up of electrochemical processes.

This online course will be of interest to organic chemists- both in industry and academia- and anyone interested in finding out more about this emerging new technology.

This course is designed for those with limited or no pilot plant or scale-up experience, provides a comprehensive overview of the most common problems experienced during the scale up of laboratory batch processes, and ways to avoid or mitigate them. The difference between laboratory scale techniques and how the major unit operations are carried out in the pilot plant is a key focus of the course. Thus, along the way attendees will examine the many issues associated with raw material handling, conducting synthetic reactions, reaction workup, product crystallization, isolation and drying at the pilot plant or commercial scale.
