Live Webinar: Scale-up and Process Safety
Ensure Safe Scale-Up of Chemical Processes
This free online event is for process chemists and engineers who are interested in developing and implementing strategic approaches to ensure product quality via process reproducibility and stability – in a resource-sparing manner. Each presenter will share practical examples and case studies on the use of process analytics to overcome challenges around route selection, reaction understanding and monitoring, heat transfer, and process safety.
Who should attend?
Process chemists and chemical engineers who need to:
- Consider the impact of scaling up delayed or auto-catalyzed reactions, heat or product accumulations, or heat transfer
- Understand reaction mechanisms such as critical reaction parameters, kinetics, reaction intermediates, or limits of heat exchange
- Investigate 'what if' scenarios like cooling failure, mixing failure, heat exchange fouling, or dosing disruptions
- Increase productivity and understanding by eliminating critical data gaps through automated sampling and modeling
- Optimize data quality through representative, reproducible sampling while limiting exposure to hazardous chemistry

Dr. Stephen Rowe, Technical Director - Reaction Safety, DEKRA UK Ltd
Steve has a BSC in Applied Chemistry, a PhD in Chemical Engineering (Process Safety) and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. He is currently the Technical Director of Reaction Safety at DEKRA UK. Having started his working life at the ICI Hazards and Process Studies Group, he has since enjoyed a 35 year career dedicated to the assessment of chemical reaction hazards and the laboratory assessment of a full range of process safety hazards including dust, gas and vapour flammability and explosives characterization. He is an experienced trainer and regular contributor to national and international process safety conferences and symposia.
