About Rotterdam Processing Week

Welcome to the industrial capital of the Netherlands, where innovation literally flows through the pipelines. During Rotterdam Processing Week, three trade fairs come together under one roof: Solids, Pumps & Valves, and M+R.

Three industrial trade fairs with the following themes

  • Sustainability in the industry
  • Digitalization & data-driven operations
  • Efficiency & process optimization

 

And this year, we are adding Energy in Processing, powered by ISPT.

Energy in Processing is the premier meeting place for professionals shaping the energy transition within the process industry. On October 1 & 2, 2025, at Ahoy Rotterdam, we will bring together companies, innovators, and knowledge partners to accelerate energy efficiency and sustainability.

Masterclass

Speaker: dr. ir. Payam Poosolhjouy, TU/e
Date & Time: October 1st, 15:00 at the Chemtech-theater 

Masterclass: Material Modelling and Design applied to Pharmaceutical Tablets and 3D Concrete Printing

Dr. Poorsolhjouy will speak about how interactions of materials’ constituents are used to design and optimize new multifunctional materials and structures. He will show how his insights relate to cohesive materials like concrete, rocks or pharmaceutical tablets and to cohesionless materials like soils as well as complex materials such as fiber-reinforced composites.

Dr. ir. Payam Poorsolhjouy

Dr. Payam Poorsolhjouy is an Assistant Professor in Applied Mechanics at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). He researches material modelling and design, with a specific interest in granular and particulate materials. Particular areas of application include powder compaction in tablet manufacturing followed by performance prediction of tablets, and 3D conrete printing with the aim of designing new materials and structures.

KIVI Stand

KIVI will be present at stand L21, located directly next to the Chemtech Theater where the NPT Masterclass takes place.
