Identification of Cleaner Production Improvement Opportunities

February, 2006
Regardless of its size or nature, every industry generates waste and is responsible for imple-menting the practices of pollution prevention and waste minimization in its day-to-day operations. Whether it's dirty water or toxic wastes, industrial pollution is all the same in one way: it reduces a...

CEP: December 2006

Almost without exception, the chemical engineers attending the 2006 AIChE Annual Meeting in San Francisco last month seemed excited about the future of our profession.

CEP: November 2006

I began my first international engineering project on January 27, 1986. A project team of French, Italian, and American chemical engineers gathered in a brand new laboratory building in Chauny, France to initiate a plant expansion.

CEP: October 2006

Some of you may know that I was injured near the end of 2004, the year during which I was AIChE President. I am still in the process of recovery, but have returned to work and am again involved in activities related to AIChE.
