Intertek India will organise a one-day seminar on Managing Process & Powder Safety on June 28, 2013 at The Lalit Mumbai. The objective is to make the participants aware of the inherent risks involved during chemical/pharmaceutical manufacturing and taking action on them. The seminar is aimed at technicians, chemists, chemical engineers, plant managers and safety specialists who wish to understand the various hazards posed by static electricity, dust explosions, runaway reactions and how to investigate processes and unit operations for thermal hazards.
In order to do this successfully, it is necessary to fully understand the thermal data and the means by which it can be acquired. This seminar advocates a structured approach supported by theory and case studies focusing on the role that laboratory thermal data has in an overall risk minimisation strategy.
The seminar will introduce to the theory of static electricity and its hazards in day-to-day operations. It will elaborate on how powders should be safely handled with specific emphasis on drying and milling operations. It will also focus on thermodynamics of a chemical reaction, identifying and preventing runaway situations and managing the risks involved therein.
The medium of instruction will be through films, presentations, case studies and problem solving exercises.
