CHEMICAL AND PROCESS SAFETY FOR DEVELOPMENT Exhibitions

In this course, the basics of chemical process safety are explained, always starting from the underlying chemistry.

This online course will take place over four afternoon sessions, see below for the different time zones

Monday 22nd January 2024
Tuesday 23rd January 2024
Monday 29th January 2024
Tuesday 30th January 2024

Timings for each session
EST:1.00pm-4.00pm | PST: 10.00am-1.00pm | GMT: 6.00pm-9.00pm | CET: 7.00pm-10.00pm

Chemical process safety incidents can be very different in nature, going from bulging reagent drums waiting to burst, over limited spills in the lab due to sudden gas release, to catastrophic runaway reactions in the plantThey mostly have one thing in common: understanding the interplay between the chemistry involved and the physical consequences could have prevented them

In this course, the basics of chemical process safety are explained, always starting from the underlying chemistryA lot of emphasis will be put on heat and gas evolution, how they affect the inherent process safety and how they can be measured in the labBasic scale-up calculations for both gas and heat evolution will be explained using examples and exercisesGuidelines will be given to prevent possible issues with heat transfer at larger scaleThe importance of stability data of chemicals, reaction mixtures and products will be explained, together with different tools to determine them experimentallyBackground will be provided to understand and interpret the results of reaction calorimetry and thermal stability experimentsSafety aspects of upstream or downstream processes like storage and waste streams will be discussedThe safety benefits of flow chemistry will be explained, and the specific safety evaluation needed for such flow processes will be explored as well
