Susan Aberle, project manager for Malvern Instruments’ on-line particle size analysis group, will be a keynote speaker at the forthcoming conference ‘Control of Particulate Processes VII’. The conference, which will focus on intelligent sensing and control as the path to manufacturing excellence, takes place from 29 October to 2 November 2006 at Harrision Hot Springs, BC, Canada. Dr Aberle’s presentation will cover the use of on-line particle sizing for process control.

Manufacturing processes for particulates and solids are acknowledged as presenting greater processing challenges than either liquids or gases, and this conference takes place against the backdrop of increased investment in enabling techniques for improving product manufacturing performance. With developments such as the FDA’s PAT initiative, the trend is for all materials properties ultimately to be characterized on-line or at-line. The conference provides a forum for reviewing state-of-the-art developments in particulate process measurement, control and modelling.
