Scaling up from lab to industrial production is one of the most challenging steps in process development. Equipment at industrial scale often behaves very differently to laboratory systems, with fluid dynamics and other factors changing dramatically. These shifts can create uncertainty and add significant risk when designing your first full-scale plant.

In this webinar, CPI’s experts will share how modelling and simulation can accelerate process development and provide insights into the different strategies required for scale-up versus full production.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to strengthen manufacturing processes with modelling and simulation.
  • The differences between scaling up a process and optimising for production.
  • Real-world examples of successful projects using these techniques.
  • Typical costs and timelines associated with deploying modelling and simulation in process development.

Join us to discover how simulation-led approaches can save time, reduce risk, and enable confident process scale-up.

Seeing is believing: Study Visit to the Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant

Hop on the shuttle bus to the Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant and discover what scale-up is and looks like! This visit is part of the “Scale -up & Growth” programme offered by the “Pilots4U powered by COPILOT” project and will comprise of a presentation and guided tour of the facilities. It will be co-organised by ShapingBio.
