Addressing critical issues of today and tomorrow. Technical societies.

As the pace of technology development accelerates, there’s a growing need for experts to collaborate to remove common obstacles. AIChE plays a critical role through its technical societies, joint initiatives of industry, academia and government, that define the issues and lead our industry.  We shape the future.

Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS). Formed after the Bhopal toxic gas release in 1984, CCPS plays a vital role in advancing the practice of process safety to protect our workplaces and communities. Visit CCPS home page

Safety and Chemical Engineering Education (SACHE). Created by CCPS to increase process safety knowledge among Chemical Engineering Graduates, SACHE provides curriculum materials and problem sets to undergraduate educators. Visit SACHE home page

Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems (DIERS). Since 1976, DIERS has been improving emergency relief system design techniques to handle runaway reactions . Visit DIERS home page

Design Institute for Physical Properties (DIPPR). To help industry improve productivity and safety, DIPPR develops, maintains, and disseminates extensive databases ofcritically evaluated physical property data. Visit DIPPR home page
