Corning AFR Workshops

Corning's "Making Chemistry Possible with Flow", previously “Stepping into Advanced-Flow Reactors”, workshop highlights the fundamentals of flow chemistry and the advantages of our continuous flow reactor technologies and engineering services. 

Corning accomplishes this through a variety of activities, including presenting at trade conferences, publishing whitepapers in top scientific journals, and working closely with customers to provide engineering support through every stage of implementation. “We also take it a step further and host dedicated workshops for prospective customers at our locations in Europe and the U.S.,” Alessandra said.

Corning's advanced-flow reactor workshops highlight the fundamentals of flow chemistry and the advantages of our continuous flow reactor technologies.

“Since beginning our workshop eight years ago, we have hosted more than 250 participants from 26 counLearn more or register for our 2020 workshop sessions:
tries with profiles ranging from chemists and chemical engineers to project managers and decision-makers,” Alessandra said. “Over the years we’ve adjusted the format based on participants’ feedback to ensure seminar topics address their needs and they get the most out of their time with us.”

Corning Advanced-Flow Reactor workshops are held twice annually in either Corning European Technology Center (CETC) in Fontainebleau, France, or at Nalas Engineering Services, Inc., an AFR Qualified Lab located in Centerbrook, CT.

Day one of the workshop focuses on the fundamentals of continuous flow chemistry and the advantages of Corning’s reactor products and engineering services. Day two explores the application of AFR Technology and includes a live reactor demonstration for participants to experience the technology first-hand. Interested participants also have the option to schedule a half-day course to meet one-on-one with the Corning AFR team to discuss their specific application.

 “It is truly a privilege that we have the opportunity to meet with so many customers in this field to share the benefits of our reactor technologies for their applications. It’s exciting when participants decide to adopt this technology and become ambassadors in their market segments by sharing the many benefits Corning’s flow reactors provide,” Alessandra said. “Looking forward, we’re working on our 2020 workshop sessions to share more about our latest applications cases and products.”
 

Participant comments:

“Very interesting, a direct view on a “futuristic” way to improve industrial chemistry in terms of environment and safety.” – A. D’Ascoli, Lundbeck; October 2019

“Corning offers a real industrial tool in the lab (scale-up from G1 to G4 is seamless) and gives appropriate support to work on technologies that enable manufacturers to overcome today’s limits from batch mode applications.” – I. Dobrosavljevic; March 2015

“Nobody else is offering this ‘how to practically go about getting started in flow chemistry’ workshop. This training had good general appeal and applicability and provided credible technical content rather than only a sales pitch.” – D. Fox; March 2012
