Bubble columns are frequently used in the chemical,biotechnology and water treatment industries, as well as many others. Despite decades of research,the design and scale-up of bubble column reactors is still a challenging task. What are the challenges and opportunities? What are the latest experimental and numerical techniques and tools that will help design and operation?

The group ‘Reactors & Intensification’ of the French society of chemical engineering (SFGP) and the Working Party ‘Multiphase Flows’ of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE) invite you to participate in a 1-day workshop on the recent scientific developments in the field of bubble columns and bubbly flows involved in chemical reactors. This event will bring together some of the principal experts in the field today and will be the opportunity to discuss the current challenges.

Speakers : Alain Cartellier, University og Grenoble Alpes; Michael Schlüter, Hamburg University of Technology; Frédéric Risso, Intitut de Mécanique des Fluides de Toulouse; Daniele Marchisio, Politechnico of Turino; Holger Marchall, University of Darmstadt; Arne Hofmann, BASF SE; Niels Deen, Unniversity of Eindhoven; Guillaume Bois, CEA Saclay, David Fletcher, the university of Sydney.
