Conferences for Industrial Process Chemists and Engineers are continuing ONLINE. As the Covid virus continues to cause travel restrictions, we have persisted to host our popular meetings virtually. We still invite top quality speakers and provide thought provoking programmes aimed at an industrial audience and have developed several new tools to enable us to offer an engaging experience. Please look at our electronic brochure below to see what events we have coming up soon and also how we are introducing new ways to network and meet each other. We hope to ‘see’ you again soon either online or hopefully in person in the coming months.

Pulp Fiction
Written by John Studley, 7th May 2024 As most process chemists know (but perhaps not so many discovery chemists) DMSO is nasty material. It undergoes explosive autocatalytic decomposition at or near its boiling point (189°C) generating non-condensable gases and concomitant extremely rapid pressure increases that can rupture a reactor vessel like a knife through butter.…
Living in a “Material World”
Written by Jonathan Moseley, April 17th 2024 No relation to the Madonna song, but rather the title of a book by Ed Conway, an economist and journalist, regarding the Material World in which we live. And if like me, you have a general interest in chemistry, as well as some interest in economics and history…
Put and Take Shakes It Up
In this post I’m highlighting a couple of papers that are essentially two sides of the same coin. As a process chemist, I’ll be the first to admit that the chemistry I’m about to describe is not going to end up in your manufacturing route any time soon, but as a former card-carrying medicinal chemist…
