"THERE'S MONEY TO BE MADE IF PROCESS ANALYSIS AND CONTROL |
||
| Process analysis and control technologies are increasingly important to manufacturing companies in the pharmaceuticals, chemicals, petrochemicals, biotechnology, food and other industries. The financial, safety and environmental benefits of Process Analysis and Control (PAC) are proving powerful incentives and increasing numbers of companies want to participate in the PAC revolution. In-process measurements and real-time data analysis are also increasing in importance at the discovery and development stages, when attempting to reduce time-to-market through “quality by design”, achieved by acquisition of better fundamental knowledge of a process. APACT 09 is an open forum for the presentation and discussion of recent advances
in engineering and scientific topics relevant to process analytics and control
technologies. Plenary and keynote speakers will describe the formulation and
implementation of PAC strategies, review the benefits that can be achieved, and Following the success of previous conferences in Glasgow, York, Bath, Birmingham, Oxford and Edinburgh, APACT 09 will be a three-day meeting featuring plenary and parallel sessions on topics crucial to the achievement of manufacturing excellence. The conference is open to all interested participants and will provide opportunities for academics and industrialists to present their knowledge and research to an informed multi-disciplinary audience. The programme will include contributed lectures, poster presentations and a vendor exhibition. The meeting is an ideal forum for networking and information gathering on PAC. Those new to process analysis or process control will benefit from the friendly atmosphere that typifies an APACT conference. Registration cost includes lunches, dinner on two evenings, and a social programme. There will be a reduced cost student registration fee to encourage participation of younger researchers.
