SAVE THE DATE | Membrane concentration & evaporation: from theory to practice | January 28 & 29 2025

Learn the ins & outs of membrane concentration and falling film evaporation and catch up on the latest developments to optimize your process and save on costs.

Introduction

Powder processing often includes membrane concentration and/or evaporation steps to remove as much water as possible before (spray) drying. However, these units are complex devices and can suffer from inefficient operation or fouling. Improvements can often be achieved in reducing energy consumption, minimizing fouling and cleaning more effectively. This two-day course presents the latest developments in membrane concentration and falling film evaporation, process optimization and cost saving-strategies, including case studies, industry examples and practical demonstrations. The course covers basic theory on evaporation, followed by a practical workshop enabling participants to apply the theory in practice.

For whom?

The course is intended for anybody involved in concentration, including process and product developers, technologists and plant operational staff. Speakers from NIZO, academia and industry will guide you through the topics from scientific understanding to its practical implications.

Why come to this course?

• Improve or refresh your understanding of evaporation and membrane concentration technology.
• Gain new insights into strategies to optimize your evaporator
• Get updated on the latest scientific and technological developments for product-process optimization
• Expand your network of scientists and industry experts in the field of evaporation and membrane concentration

Course leaders

This course will be led by Dr. Kevin van Koerten,, Expert in Processing, and Ben van der Deen, Business Development Manager. Feel free to contact either of them if you have questions about the course content. Please also inform Kevin if you are interested in enrolling in the course.
