Spray Drying and Atomisation of Formulations University of Leeds

Overview

Outcomes

On completion of this Spray Drying and Atomisation of Formulations course at the University of Leeds you will:

• gain an appreciation of how the choice of formulation composition can impact processing and produce quality
• understand how fluid properties, rheology and atomisation performance can have an influence on spray drying through watching pre-recorded practical lab demonstrations
• learn how to manipulate drying parameters to influence product microstructure, materials properties and quality parameters
• gain an appreciation of the hazards involved in spray drying and how to ensure safe operation
• learn how spray drying processes can be scaled up and appreciate the possible pitfalls on scaling up
• understand how spray drying principles can be applied to the manufacture of real industrial formulated products for economic and better preforming processes as well as improved product performance and quality
• find out how spray drying can be used as an alternative to freeze drying
• get an insight into how challenges are tackled across different industries
• learn how to choose and design appropriate equipment such as atomisers and towers for laboratory, pilot and production-scale spray-drying
