The course will review principles of mixing in stirred 
tanks, provide recommendations for process design and 
scale-up, plus enable participants to apply these 
principles and recommendations to their mixing 
processes/problems. Additionally the course will explain 
how “MixIT – an enterprise software to predict stirred 
tank performance” can help facilitate knowledge 
management, collaboration and use of mixing science 
within a global organization to accelerate reactor 
design, process scale up, process optimization and 
troubleshooting associated with stirred tanks.

The course take-away's are
