Chemical Industry and Ratings Outlook 2023

Some of the common suit materials will be introduced from a practical perspective for those exposed to the multiple threats of arc flash, flash fire and chemical contamination exposure. Participants will also consider the standards addressing these issues.

The European Chemicals Agency (Echa) presents how the wealth of information collected and generated under Reach and CLP can be used to make better choices for product development. This webinar will explore how Echa supports scientists and product development leaders to leverage the wealth of information that is and has been generated around Reach to accelerate innovation.

On January 21st, 2003, Members of AIChE's Center for Chemical Process Safety had the rare privilege to observe the safety procedures used at the Kennedy Space Center to load the hypergolic thruster fuels onto the Space Shuttle Columbia. Just 11 days later, the Columbia disintegrated on reentry. As details of the accident emerged from the Columbia Accident Investigation Board, it became clear that there were many lessons that chemical engineers could learn from NASA's actions leading up to this tragic accident. This presentation will link the loss of the Columbia to the 2005 explosion at the BP Texas City refinery which killed 15 and injured 180, and highlight six key actions useful to prevent chemical accidents, protect the integrity of research, and maybe even improve your life.

Because the chemical engineering world is non-linear and non-convex, it has been difficult to use standard math programming tools—the necessary linearization causes too many problems. But what if you could incorporate optimization into your decision-making? How could basing decisions on process data and competing objectives enable you to optimize your non-linear chemical engineering applications? Find out in this webinar.
