Success at the Britest Process Understanding Day 2021

We are pleased to announce that Robinson Brothers has won the ‘Best Use of Britest’ award at the Britest Process Understanding Day 2021! The company success at these awards is testament to the multidisciplinary team on our site.

The two-day online event saw over one hundred delegates with lots of innovative presentations, enabling engagement with international technical experts despite travel restrictions. Keynote presentation topics were process intensification, reaction modelling and equipment prototyping.

Representing Robinson Brothers, Dr Bal Kalirai and Dr Russell Field contributed to a conversation on the benefits of online Britest, both training and facilitation, due to the company being the first to undergo the smooth transition from face to face to online Britest meetings.

The benefits of online Britest are (i) keeping the benefits of Britest membership at a time when face-to-face is not possible, (ii) able to run studies with technical experts from different locations (i.e. customers) and (iii) the opportunity to conduct the studies in a more modular way, smaller sessions rather than over two days. This demonstrates the dynamic nature of both Robinson Brothers and the chemical industry during Covid-19.

Dr Russell Field said:

‘We were awarded the ‘Best Use of Britest’ for our poster demonstrating how the company has used Britest to overcome a challenging problem in a complex process using hazardous materials.

We demonstrated the significant improvements made to the process after carrying the work required using the Britest approach. Through adapting our approach to online, we were able to progress and complete the project which is now ready for trial.’

Stay tuned for updates for when we receive the award!
