RSC Applied Catalysis Group
One-day symposium
10 am – 4 pm
JM Technology Centre, Stockton-on-Tees
The aim of this symposium is to examine the issues that need to be considered when scaling-up catalytic processes from the discovery phase, through piloting, up to commercial scale implementation. It will seek to cover heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis, whilst considering a variety of aspects such as kinetics, reactor choice and design, catalyst and process feasibility, supply issues, SHE factors, and economics.
Confirmed Speakers
Klaus Hellgardt (Imperial College) - "Opportunities for process intensification during scale-up"
Gordon Kelly (JM) - "Deactivation of alumina supported cobalt FT catalysts during testing in a Continuous-stirred tank reactor (CSTR)"
Ian Fotheringham (Ingenza) - “Engineering Scalable Bio-manufacturing of Industrial Products”
James Paterson (BP) - "Design, Scale-up and Innovation in GTL"
Scott Gibson (Novartis) - "New Product Introduction at Novartis Grimsby : Process Scale-Up from a Pharma Perspective"
Martin Hanton (Sasol UK) - "tbc"
Registration includes lunch, poster session and optional JM facility tour (please note: the tour is limited to academics only, and on a first-come, first-served basis with a maximum of 30 attendees).
Online registration only (opens 1st June 2017):
RSC member £50 (early), £70 (std)
Non-member £60 (early), £80 (std)
Student RSC member £30 (early), £50 (std)
Student non-member £50 (early), £70 (std)
Five student bursaries available to cover travel and registration, on a first come first served basis to RSC student members - please e-mail the organisers (e-mail address below) to apply.
Students are encouraged to present posters and there will be three poster prizes available courtesy of the RSC journal Reaction Chemistry and Engineering.
