Process Scale-Up from Laboratory to Commercial Production
Sector:
Chemicals & Process – Quality and Scale-Up
Technical Focus Area:
Quality & Technology Transfer
About the Course
This course provides practical training in process scale-up, covering how chemical processes are moved reliably from laboratory scale through pilot plant to commercial production. It is designed for engineers responsible for managing the technical risks inherent in scale-up.
Participants examine scale-up methodology, common scale-dependent phenomena, and risk mitigation strategies, building the practical skills needed to plan and execute successful scale-up programs. Case examples illustrate scale-up successes and failures across different process types.
Learning Milestones
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Apply scale-up methodology to a chemical process.
- Identify scale-dependent phenomena affecting process performance.
- Design a staged scale-up program with appropriate risk mitigation.
- Evaluate pilot plant data for commercial-scale predictions.
- Identify common causes of scale-up failure.
- Support cross-functional scale-up project coordination.
Professional Audience
This course is ideal for engineers responsible for process scale-up, including:
- Process development engineers
