Flow chemistry training course 2025
About the Course
Flow chemistry is revolutionizing API and chemical manufacturing, offering significant advantages in efficiency, scalability, and sustainability. This one-day intensive training program in Ahmedabad is designed to equip industry professionals with cutting-edge knowledge and practical insights into continuous processing, covering both fundamental principles and advanced industrial applications.
The program begins with an introduction to flow chemistry, highlighting its superiority over batch processing and exploring key operational parameters such as mixing, residence time, and heat transfer. Participants will then dive into process development and optimization, focusing on reaction kinetics, catalyst selection, and solvent management for API synthesis and fine chemical production.
Advanced sessions will cover flow photochemistry, electrochemistry, and catalytic systems, showcasing how these innovative technologies enhance reaction efficiency and selectivity. A dedicated segment on scale-up strategies will address the challenges of transitioning from lab-scale experiments to commercial production, including regulatory compliance and real-time process monitoring (PAT).
In addition to theoretical insights, this training offers a live demonstration, where participants will engage in setting up and troubleshooting a real-world flow chemistry process. The course will also explore emerging trends such as automation, AI integration, and sustainable flow processes, preparing attendees for the future of continuous manufacturing.
Who Should Attend
Chemists, Chemical Engineers, and Scientists from Industry who are involved in research in API and Chemical synthesis, Bio-processing, Pharmaceutical, Fine chemical, or related synthetic topics, including Medicinal, Organic and High-throughput Chemists, in addition to scientists involved in Process Development. Basic knowledge of chemistry is required.

Paul Watts's Biography
Paul Watts
Research Chair in Microfluidic Bio/Chemical Processing
Nelson Mandela University
Prof Paul Watts started his career as a lecturer at the University of Hull in 2002, being promoted to full professor in 2011. At the University of Hull he led the micro reactor and flow technology group. In February 2013, he moved to Nelson Mandela University to hold the distinguished position of ‘Research Chair in Microfluidic Bio/Chemical Processing’. He has published of over 120 highly cited papers. He strongly believes that scientists should conduct research that impacts society; the biggest project underway involves the local production of key drugs as the morbidity and mortality from major diseases are much more devastating in Africa than in other regions of the world. The vision is that new technology will be used within South Africa to manufacture generic drugs; this could create jobs and a new manufacturing industry within the country.
