Risk Mitigation in Process Development

Reducing the time span for technology development while avoiding scale-up/implementation surprises is a key challenge faced by the R&D community. It requires project teams to be more effective at identifying and assessing risks at every stage of process development, and to better understand how uncertainties in data, physical properties, thermodynamic models, unit operation models, operating conditions, etc., propagate & impact critical process variables. The talks in this session illustrate risk mitigation tools/strategies for development of robust technologies that deliver required product quality and stable operation under conditions of uncertainty.
