SinodosChemistry

This seminar is addressed to scientists and technicians involved in fluid industries such as water desalination, chemical production, polymers, colloidal dispersions and other similar industries.

 

 

It covers the scientific principles of fluid mixing, slurry handling, reactors, mixers, separators and heat exchange. Most significant applications are presented via computational chemistry and fluid flow simulation tools. Case studies are also included. Seminar is provided in two versions; a 5-days version that includes all theory, scientific principles and a number of applications [case studies], and a 10-days version that includes all 5-days contents plus CFD and computational chemistry simulations and all the applications and case studies described in the contents sections. Specific case studies can be added on demand to the 10-days course.
