CP3 Forums


Yearly forums are held to discuss topics related to the research and development of particulate processes.

The next forum, Material Characterization Forum (MCF), is set to occur in August 2020, more details below.

Archived forums are farther down the page.

Material Characterization Forum (MCF) 2020, a CP3 Forum


Material characterization is essential for determining raw material and product quality, controlling manufacturing processes, and making accurate model predictions of process and product performance. Significant progress has been made in recent years toward developing on-line, at-line, and off-line techniques for measuring the characteristics of particulate materials and particle-based products. In addition, model developers have been developing methods for directly measuring or calibrating model input parameters.

The aim of the MCF 2020 is to bring together a select group of practitioners and researchers from industry, government laboratories, and academia to present and discuss recent developments focused on the characterization of particulate materials and particulate-based products. The areas of emphasis for this Forum include characterization for supporting process control and product performance, as well as characterizing parameters for models supporting these topics.

Blending and Segregation Forum 2019


Segregation of granular materials is a complex phenomenon, difficult to assess quantitatively and challenging to predict. Improving understanding and remediation of segregation effects is an ever-increasing need for a myriad of reasons: rational designs, formal risk analysis, better process understanding, improving numerical modelling, continuous manufacturing and the need for improved yields.

The Forum aims to help the pharmaceutical industry and other process-focused communities such as nutraceuticals, fine chemicals, bulk goods, food products, detergents, agricultural products, industrial powders, consumer products, catalysts, batteries, energetic materials and additive manufacturing.
