Webinar:
Thermal Stability/Screening & Adiabatic Calorimetry
10:00am (EDT) Tuesday May 14, 2024
During new processes and product development, a primary chemical processing concern is the safe and efficient processing of materials and chemicals at a large scale. To counter these process safety concerns, thermal stability, and adiabatic calorimetry testing methods act as valuable screening steps in the development of new chemical processes.
The preliminary data collected at the screening stage will guide research and development teams in their process development journey, especially during the product identification and the identification of synthetic route stages.
From this webinar, you will gain an understanding of:
- How and why chemical reactions and material reactivity are critical elements of safe processing, and how exothermic reactions pose the biggest risk.
- How thermal screening data and adiabatic techniques can be used to inform and ensure proper plant design (reactor cooling capacity, relief sizing, etc.) for scale-up stages.
