This course examines the technical issues related to transforming a chemical process from small-scale (e.g., laboratory) to commercial operation. The approach is methodology-oriented, covering essential design, engineering, and scale-up practices for fluid mixing and agitated tank reactors.

Engineers and technical personnel involved in process engineering, especially those handling fluid mixing and reactor design in scale-up processes.
