The Summer Institute is part of CPAC's mission to provide continuing education opportunities in the areas of Process Analysis and Control and is a forum for discussing advances in measurement science that are linked to process control. Using micro-reactors, it is possible to run serial or parallel experiments quickly, thus increasing the number of experiments, and turning out products faster. The promise of this approach is the ability to reduce the time from discovery to commercialization, which is especially critical in such industries as pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals, where production is often measured in lost revenue per day. CPAC is now developing measurement strategies that complement these new directions in manufacturing technology. The workshop will also explore the needs of 'end-users' and provide valuable feedback for modeling and process control professionals.
Enrollment is open to all industries and organizations.
The two and one-half day schedule ends by noon on Friday. Morning lectures serve as the basis for afternoon open discussions with a futuristic outlook toward the technology presented. The final morning will summarize the two technical areas and meld the conclusions into a broader look at the future of Process Analytical Chemistry. The seminars will be held at the University of Washington Faculty Center. The campus is located in Seattle, between Lake Washington and Lake Union.
