Membrane concentration & evaporation: from theory to practice | September 12 & 13 2023

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 Processing & Ben van der Deen, Business Development Manager. If you have questions about the content of the course (scroll down for the leaflet), please contact one of them!

• Package 1 is for the two-day course, including a diner at the end of day 1.
• Package 2 is for the two-day course, including a diner at the end of day 1 with ONE night hotel stay, breakfast and taxi.
• Package 3 is for the two-day course, including a diner at the end of day 1 with TWO nights hotel stay, breakfast and taxi. You arrive at the hotel the day before the course starts.

Book for the Spray Drying course as well (one of the packages of the other course) and receive a €500,- discount!

NOTE 1: If you book both courses and if you want a total 3 nights hotel stay (and arrive at the day the first course starts), please select package 2 for one course and package 3 for the other course. It does not matter which course you do this for. If you book both courses and want a total of 4 nights in a hotel (and arrive the day before the first course starts), choose package 3 for both courses.
NOTE 2: Hotel accommodation is based on availability. Hotel accommodation is only guaranteed after written confirmation from the hotel.

If there are questions regarding the registration, please contact Kevin van Koerten.
