PARTEC 2023: Call for Papers

The 2023 edition of PARTEC, the International Congress on Particle Technology, will take place on September 26−28, 2023 in Nuremberg, Germany. As one of the world's major scientific congresses for particle and bulk solids technology, it provides an international forum for R&D in new technologies.

Curiosity, Disillusionment, Persistence, Success

Given the challenges the pharmaceutical industry is facing – secure material supply, reduce operation cost and increase flexibility, enhance sustainability and safety, innovate and reduce time-to-market – the sector is poised for a breakthrough of flow chemistry.

AI Maturity Model for GxP Application

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become one of the supporting pillars for digitalization in many areas of the business world. The pharmaceutical industry and its GxP-regulated areas also want to use AI in a beneficial way, but only a small fraction of companies follows a systematic approach for the digitalization of their operations and validation. However, the assurance of integrity and quality of outputs via computerized system validation is essential for applications in GxP environments.

Digitalization And Sustainability

In addition to the transformation towards a climate-neutral chemical industry and the perennial topic of digitalization, the current global political situation also poses massive challenges for the process industry. Which technologies can be used to achieve defossilization? How to secure and enhance regional and global supply chain networks? And what hurdles must be overcome in the digitalization of the industry?

Purification of Process Media for Fuel Cells

The development and demonstration of a resilient power supply for data centers using fuel cells is the goal of the current EU research project "EcoEdge PrimePower" (E2P2). For the safe and long-term use of fuel cells, Tec4fuels is developing a water loop for the process water supply of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).
