Focus on Drying
The AIChE April meeting will focus on drying technology with a seminar presented by Karl Jacob from 2 to 5 pm.
This seminar covers drying fundamentals (equilibrium, psychrometry, kinetics and drying mechanisms), advantages and features of various types of drying equipment (primarily layer and dispersive dryers) and selection of the best equipment. Using his extensive experience with virtually every type of dryer Karl will show how to maximize their performance and make a smart selection. Karl will follow dinner with a talk on troubleshooting dryers and diagnosing typical problems to improve your dryer.
During this meeting we will recognize our members with over 25 years in AIChE with a memento. We do this for every fifth anniversary after 25 years. As a recipient you will receive a personal invitation.
Attendees will receive 3 PDHs for the seminar and 1 PDH for the dinner talk.
