Spray Drying For Professionals

NIZO brings the spray drying course for professionals to the US market.For many years in a row NIZO initiates an extensive course on the theory and practicalities in spray drying for its clients in the food industry. The course grew out into a reference point of quality, giving participants understanding and inspiration improving their performance. A condensed excerpt of that course will be brought to the US now. NIZO expert dr. Kevin van Koerten in collaboration with Caloris Engineering and PSE Americas will give you the insights from theory to practice in a very interesting program. The charge is limited to $950 ex VAT per participant, including lunch. The venue is Hilton Minneapolis/St. Paul Airport Mall of America. The event is organized on June 13^th. Thanks for letting us know if you are interested to participate, secure your seat and register now!

Spray Drying: From Theory To Practice
“Learn the ins & outs of spray drying and catch up on the latest developments to optimize your process and save on costs.”

Introduction
Efficient operation of spray dryer processes is a challenging subject with many different aspects. It requires both theoretical understanding of heat and mass transfer during drying and the product physical properties. In this 1-day course, you will be taken from the basics to the practical side of spray drying, thus giving a complete view of the different elements involved with spray drying operations. This course is intended for professionals responsible for the operation, design and optimization of spray drying processes in the food industry, like a/o production supervisors and product developers.

About NIZO
NIZO was founded by the Dutch dairy industry in 1948, as the institute for dairy research and development in the Netherlands. In 1953 NIZO moved to a custom-built site with a food grade processing centre and production facility in Ede, in the heart of the Food Valley. Focussing on process and product optimization and innovation, NIZO grew to one of the leading dairy research organizations in the world. After a management buy-out in 2009 we now are a private and independent company, and have expanded our knowledge and expertise beyond dairy to many different sectors in both food and health. In 2017 NIZO setup a collaboration with PSE, who provide a sophisticated flow sheet modelling platform called gPROMS. With the combination of our build up fundamental knowledge and modelling expertise, lab facilities and food grade processing centre we aim to facilitate our customers through all stages of product and process development, scale-up and optimization.

This Course Will Be Led By:
Kevin van Koerten PhD, Expert Processing, at NIZO, Jim Kent, Business Development Manager at Caloris and Xiaohui Liu PhD, Applications Engineer at Process Systems Enterprise.
