Training for more effective knowledge transfer between Scientists and Chemical Engineers

A 3-day course delivered by Britest Ltd in conjunction with Scientific Update.

Back by popular demand this essential three-day training course for R&D Scientists and Engineers from other disciplines, who may find themselves at a disadvantage when working in process research and development because of their lack of knowledge about the basic principles of chemical engineering, or when considering the whole process.

Developed, and presented, by Britest’s team of specialists in technical facilitation and knowledge transfer across disciplines and at the interface between R&D and manufacturing, this unique course doesn’t dwell on the mathematics of chemical engineering design, but instead focuses on what other disciplines need to know about the information and data that chemical engineers need for design, scale-up and process troubleshooting.

Topics covered:

Flow of Fluids
Heat Transfer
Mass Transfer and Separation Processes
Reaction Engineering, and Process Safety

This course has been developed, and is presented, by chemical engineers and chemists who specialise in facilitating knowledge transfer and understanding between different scientific and engineering disciplines working at the R&D-manufacturing interface. As a result, it does not dwell on the derivation of mathematical formulae or equations used in chemical engineering design, but instead focuses on what other disciplines need to know about the information and data that chemical engineers require for design, scale-up and process troubleshooting.

Chemical engineering without mathematics is impossible, but this course presents only relevant mathematics at a level that should not trouble anyone with a numerate scientific degree. Other disciplines do not need to know how to design plants or equipment and this course does not attempt to teach this. The course focuses on understanding chemical engineering principles to promote clear communication between disciplines, facilitating information and knowledge transfer.
