Scale-up of fluidized bed drying: Impact of process and design parameters

The fluidized bed drying unit operation is extensively used in the pharmaceutical industry. However, there are still many unanswered questions with respect to scaling up fluidized bed drying operations. In this study, a scaling method for the fluidized bed drying process was investigated to predict drying under new operating conditions based on existing experimental data. A normalization scaling factor was implemented based on the ratio of...
