14 May - 16 May 2019

Continuous Flow Technology IV

Organised by:

SCI's Fine Chemicals Group, RSC's Biological and Medicinal Chemistry Sector and RSC's Speciality Chemicals Sector

Manchester, UK

Registration Closed

This event is no longer available for registration.

Synopsis

This three day conference is organised by SCI and RSC. The event reflects the advances made with continuous flow technology over recent years and the impact it is making right across the chemicals industry spanning discovery applications, process development advances and value for commercial manufacture of fine and speciality chemicals. To reflect the mix of interests and applications across the chemistry community, the symposium is structured as two back to back events with options for attending two consecutive days or all three.


Attendees

The meeting is directed at individuals with a curiosity into what Flow is and how it may benefit them or their organisations, and those already involved in the area. The presentations will cover aspects from microfluidics discovery to production scale manufacture, highlighting the latest developments, novel methods, engineering and their application. This meeting will be of particular interest to synthetic chemists, process development chemists, chemical engineers and plant managers operating in pharmaceutical, agrochemicals and the fine and speciality chemicals industries.
