WEBINAR

Scale-Up

Time: 09:00- 10:00 am CEST or 04:00- 05:00 pm CEST
Date: August 20, 2026
Place: per webinar
Price: The webinar is free of charge. A registration is necessary.

Let’s get practical and talk about how to “grow up” an agitated process:​

  • Scale-up of an agitated reactor – theory and principles ​
  • Experimental based approach (lab & pilot trials)​
  • Model based approach (CFD simulations)​
  • Examples from process industry​

EKATO consults and accompanies its customers throughout their entire customerjourney. Starting with the initial idea, through possible trials and subsequent scale-upinto the industrial mixing process, to the actual mixing system – or even to the turnkeyprocess plant.​

In this webinar we want to show how agitated processes can be scaled up with focus onreliability, efficiency and time to market– it is all about using the right tools andstrategies for the corresponding agitated vessels or unit operations.​

What does “Number of sealing faces” mean?

Single-acting mechanical seals
These seals have one sealing surface and only seal in one direction. They are generally simpler in design and are commonly used in applications where pressure is applied from only one side.

Double-acting mechanical seals
These seals have two sealing surfaces and can seal in both directions. They are ideal for applications where pressure may come from both sides or where a higher sealing performance is required.

Triple-acting mechanical seals
These are less common and used in specialized applications that require a more complex sealing setup. They offer additional sealing surfaces or mechanisms to ensure reliable sealing even in highly demanding environments.
