Process Chemistry Training & Conferences

Scientific Update, established in 1989 by Dr. Trevor Laird, organises conferences and training courses for industrial chemists and chemical engineers in chemical development and scale-up and many other specialist topics in organic chemistry. We also provide extensive consultancy services in these fields and edit the international scientific journal entitled Organic Process Research and Development (OPRD).

Our short intensive training courses enable scientists to learn about highly relevant topics, to broaden their knowledge and to keep abreast of new science, new technology and new techniques. A complete list of the scheduled training courses currently available can be viewed in the training section. Many of these are also available for in-house training.

Our specialist conferences provide the perfect forum for organic process chemists and chemical engineers to network with experts from industry and academia from all over the world.

Our aim is to provide you with the very best, up-to-date chemistry and superb locations. At every event, Scientific Update provide the highest quality organisation and friendly support from all our team.  We look forward to welcoming you to one of our events soon.

Right First Time in Fine Chemical Process Scale Up

Written by Dr Trevor Laird, Bert Hulshof on Tuesday, 16 April 2013. Posted in Process Chemistry News

A NEW Book written by L A (Bert) Hulshof

Right First Time in Fine Chemical Process Scale Up

Scientific Update LLP (SU) have published a new book which falls into the theme expressed on many SU courses and conferences, namely trying to bring chemists and chemical engineers closer together to help with transfer of processes from Lab to Plant.

The book, “Right First Time in Fine Chemical Process Scale Up” has been written by Dr Bert Hulshof, formerly of DSM and the University of Eindhoven in the Netherlands, who suggests that the key to success is to avoid scale-up problems.

Solvents in Synthesis

Written by Dr John Knight on Monday, 11 February 2013. Posted in Process Chemistry News

As a process chemist I like to look for unexpected chemistry and also chemistry which, under the wrong circumstances could result in reaction side-products and/or impurities.  As a result I look out for reactions involving solvents, or at least ‘reactants’ typically regarded as ‘solvents’ as illustrated by these two cases.
