OutcomeThrough alternating presentations, exercises and plenum discussions participants will acquire solid basic knowledge of fluid bed technology and fluidisation and be able to address practical problems in these fields.

Main subjects taught in the course••••••••••Fluidisation and classification of particles
Fluid bed designs - batch and continuous
Formulation and process considerations
Coating and agglomeration at particle level
Scale-up of fluid bed systems

Drying of solids in fluid beds
Moisture in air
Moisture in powder - product lumping
Energy and mass balances
Operational problems and how to solve them

Target group
The course addresses specialists, executives, technicians, planners & plantdesigners working in the chemical, pharmaceutical, biotech and/or foodindustry with manufacture or development of particle products in batch orcontinuous fluid bed processes such as granulation, coating, agglomeration
and/or drying.

Form
The course runs for three consecutive days with alternating presentations,exercises and plenum discussions.
The course is held in English.

Social event
On the afternoon of the first day the participants are invited to dinner inthe colourful 17th century waterfront of Nyhavn in the heart of Copenhagen.
