Education

You know mixing is important and no one has ever had any formal training

Most engineers and managers never have. We can give you formal training or a refresher course.  What better way than to have an unbiased consultant come over? We have presentations on mixing basics and specific topics. Dr. Post also gives a comprehensive course on mixing (CH701) at the University of Toronto in conjunction with the Professional Development Centre. Check News for the next course dates.

Key Benefits

  • A better awareness of how important mixing really is to process yield and product purity
  • Understanding how different impeller designs affect mixing
  • Getting scale-up right with less trial-and-error techniques
  • Understanding your arsenal of mixers and reactors
  • Satisfying your curiosity of why one mixer doesn't fit all
  • Being better prepared for the next new product launch and making the right decisions
  • In-house mixing seminars tailor made for your industry and products
  • Seminars can be given in English or German
