PSE's gCRYSTAL is groundbreaking crystallisation software that enables you to embrace the complexity of your crystallisation process. Advanced Process Modelling helps you increase throughput, mitigate risk and accelerate time to market.

Details & target audience

This webinar will show how companies use gCRYSTAL, a gPROMS platform software product, to make more efficient use of experiments (less materials, less lab time) and debottleneck, troubleshoot and optimize existing crystallisation processes .

The webinar is aimed at technical management, scientists and process engineers from companies with crystallisation processes: in particular chemicals, pharmaceuticals and FMCG, but also food, mineral processing and other sectors.

Outline

Following an overview of PSE's model-based engineering approach to crystallization process design and operation you will hear how to:

analyze the available data and select the relevant crystallization mechanisms
estimate a single set of kinetic parameters by simultaneously processing multiple data sets simultaneously
use the validated model to scale-up the process and optimize the recipe.

We were able to reduce lactose crystallization batch time by 44%

In addition you will learn about:

gCRYSTAL's capabilities including what's new in v2.0
the underlying crystallization theory
the gCRYSTAL graphical environment.
