Designing Robust Chromatographic Processes with a Proven Predictive Approach
Webinar by David Pfister
Preparative chromatography is a versatile purification technique used in various industrial sectors including petrochemistry, sugar production, pharmaceutical and fine chemistry, to name only a few. While this technology is often considered complex, expensive and sometimes not scalable, industrial success stories prove the opposite. In this webinar, Dr. Pfister will present a reliable approach to design robust and efficient chromatographic processes. Based on the rigorous description of the physical phenomena at stake, predictive models will be derived to assess the impact of the thermodynamics, kinetics of mass transfer and hydrodynamics on the separation. Major applications will be presented as case studies and examined in the light of the proposed approach. These case studies will illustrate how a proven predictive approach enables the development of reliable and robust processes and how it can be useful to troubleshoot issues encountered in the daily life of a chromatographer.
