Mixing in Industrial Processes
Mixing in Chemical Processes is a unit operation that is pervasive throughout many sectors, and in fact which appears in most chemical plants. Although mixing equipment is relatively inexpensive, and the operating costs are low relative to, for example, distillation, failure of a step which is mixing sensitive can have serious implications for the success of a new product, or for the operability of a plant. This symposium will mix plenary talks from experts in a number of sectors with the latest research papers in the field.
