June 16th, Spray Dryer Joint Seminar "Reducing Scale-Up Experiment Frequency - Lab Data and Digital Twin"

Pre-testing in simulations allows for risk avoidance in scaling up. We offer consulting services. Monthly contracts available.

The spray dryer allows for the consideration of product quality variation control and equipment scale-up (enlargement) by simulating factors that influence particle size control, moisture content control, and particle shape during the manufacturing process. In modeling, the particle size distribution is calculated based on the Population Balance equation, and the drying process of the particles is also taken into account. Additionally, representing adhesion to the walls is an important requirement in the simulation. With the integration of Siemens' STAR-CCM+, it is possible to analyze the actual gas flow in detail, which can be used for considerations of scale-up and operational improvements. This is an optional feature of gPROMS FormulatedProducts. *For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

Visualize continuous processes! For improving quality and reviewing production costs in active pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturing and formulation processes. *We provide support from demo tests to utilization follow-up.

This is a modeling tool developed in collaboration with a U.S. mega-pharma company. Recently, the pharmaceutical industry has been transitioning from batch production to continuous production, and it is being used for process design and control system considerations. It is a model library of gPROMS FormulatedProducts. In continuous production processes, advanced quality management (PAT, QbD, RTRT) becomes possible, as well as the ability to handle small-batch, multi-product production, but at the same time, high-precision process modeling technology becomes essential. If you have any inquiries such as "I want to reduce plant construction costs," "I want to increase production volume at existing plants," or "I want to improve product quality (particle size distribution)," please feel free to contact us! 【Features】 ■ Capable of steady-state and dynamic (dynamic) simulation ■ Easily handles multiple recycle streams ■ Allows for optimization considerations of plant design and operation methods ■ Can identify and estimate process equipment performance from test data ■ Provides graphical representation of batch plant operating procedures ■ Can be linked with crystallization process analysis libraries ■ Can be linked with oral absorption analysis libraries *For more details about the product, please download the PDF from the link below.

Process model library (reaction, crystallization, wet and dry grinding, spray drying, wet and dry granulation, blending, and tablet compression, etc.)

gPROMS Formulated Products is equipped with a library of process models for operations such as reactions, crystallization, wet and dry milling, spray drying, wet and dry granulation, blending, and tablet compression. In case studies applied to pharmaceutical processes, it enables consistent performance analysis of the entire system from active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing through formulation processes to oral absorption risk analysis. ■ Solution crystallization analysis ■ Solid-liquid and solid-gas separation, classification, and granulation process analysis ■ Oral absorption analysis This product was developed with the cooperation of major pharmaceutical companies in Europe and the United States. By using mathematical models of raw materials, unit operations, and product performance, it allows for formulation design aimed at optimizing pharmaceuticals and their manufacturing. It enables faster screening of new formulation candidates against quality attributes, including in vivo performance and manufacturability.

[Instructor] Hiroto Hayashi, Attorney at Law, New York State, Mori Hamada & Matsumoto Law Firm, Foreign Law Joint Enterprise [Key Lecture Content] Recently, batteries are expected to serve as a balancing power source for the realization of renewable energy as a primary power source. Due to changes in the business environment brought about by market development and government support measures, opportunities in the battery business are expanding. For grid-connected batteries, there are multiple options for long-term decarbonization power source auctions, tolling models, and merchant models, and the points of project development vary depending on the offtake method. Additionally, with the spread of the FIP system, the installation of batteries alongside renewable energy generation facilities is also progressing. In this lecture, we will explain the systems related to batteries, as well as key points for contract creation and negotiation, and financing necessary to steadily advance projects. We will also outline the challenges and prospects for project development and project finance formation according to each offtake scheme.

[Lecturer] Hideo Yamada, Ph.D. Honorary Professor, Waseda University Visiting Professor, Business Breakthrough University Graduate School [Key Lecture Content] Companies face various trade-offs (dilemmas) such as quality vs. cost, inventory levels vs. service levels, and standardization vs. differentiation. Traditionally, companies have responded to trade-offs by (1) finding a balance or (2) prioritizing one over the other. However, this does not lead to fundamental solutions. In this lecture, I will propose a third method that is neither balancing nor prioritizing. Using case studies from over 50 Japanese companies, I will explain it in an easy-to-understand manner. If we can turn long-standing trade-offs into trade-ons (coexistence), business opportunities will arise. [Lecture Topics] 1. What is a trade-off? 2. Trade-offs between customers and companies 3. Trade-offs within companies 4. Trade-offs within customers 5. How to turn trade-offs into trade-ons 6. Steps for exploration 7. Q&A / Business card exchange

[Lecturers] Corporate Partner, Nishimura & Asahi Law Office Osaka, Mr. Satoshi Niki Associate, Nishimura & Asahi Law Office - Foreign Law Joint Enterprise, Mr. Shu Numazawa [Key Lecture Content] In recent years, the diversification of defense cooperation and advancements in dual-use technology have significantly changed the management and international sharing of advanced technologies. This lecture will clarify the basic structure of Article 3 of the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement and the significance of "similar treatment," while explaining the institutional transformation brought about by the introduction of the non-public patent application system under the Economic Security Promotion Act. Furthermore, considering the relationship between this system and the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement, we will examine how to reposition the patent applications and secrecy management of defense-related technologies within the context of expanding international joint research and multilateral defense cooperation. [Lecture Items] 1. Diversification of defense cooperation and advancements in dual-use technology 2. Basic structure of Article 3 of the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement 3. Practical application of "similar treatment" 4. Introduction of the non-public patent system (Economic Security Promotion Act) 5. Relationship between the non-public patent system and Article 3 of the Japan-U.S. Technology Agreement 6. Expansion of international joint research and reevaluation of Article 3 7.
