This course is grounded in practical experience gained across numerous industrial sectors by a range of speakers from academia, equipment manufacturers and end users. The scientific principles of fluid bed operation will be reinforced by a number of practical demonstrations which show the theory in practice.
The course will cover:
Fluidisation Basics
Examples will be provided of the latest developments in fluid bed applications from industry and academia. The course ends with a discussion and problem solving forum.

- what are the watch-outs in this technique
- how can one engineer particles with different properties
- the importance of the bed design on how it operates
- the key operating parameters from starting up to steady state
- agglomeration, encapsulation, coating and separation
- real-life case studies examples from a range of industries, covering what can go wrong and how to avoid it
