Day one: Spray Drying and Atomisation Basics: Industry and academic experts provide the essential scientific background as well as a mix of pre-recorded and practical hands-on laboratory demonstrations.
Day two: Industrial Formulation Case Studies: Experienced specialists will show how the science of spray drying has been applied to influence the properties of real, formulated products across a wide range of business sectors. Including more laboratory demonstrations.
Day three: Powder finishing, modelling and future developments of spray drying.
During the course you will have an opportunity to highlight problems/individual challenges for discussion with experts in the field.
