One of the greatest challenges when scaling up a process is understanding the expected performance of process equipment which may be many orders of magnitude larger than the lab scale equipment in which the process has been developed. The fluid dynamics within most processes change significantly with scale, leading to uncertainty and risk when designing your first upscale plant.
In this webinar we will discuss how CPI uses modelling & simulation to reduce risk in process scale-up for our customers, including those in the Agrifoodtech market. By creating simulations of processes at both lab and industrial scale we can identify key differences in the fluid dynamics. This information can then be fed into an experimental plan to run scale-relevant trials in the lab, thereby significantly reducing the risk associated with scaling up a process.
Key takeaways:
1. Why modelling is important and how can CPI support and enable your manufacturing process through modelling and simulation
2. Examples of projects where we have successfully deployed these techniques
3. The time and costs associated with this type of scale up.
