Chemical Process Development includes Process Research and Innovation; scale-up; design, construction and operation of Pilot Plants and laboratory units; Technology Transfer; and optimization of Manufacturing processes.
Process Research and Innovation involves applying Chemical Engineering principles to the synthesis of novel operations for new product manufacture and step changes in existing technology.
Pilot Plants contribute to quality research and effective scale-up from the laboratory and scale-down from commercial scale.
Technology Transfer work processes are aimed at extracting value from internal and external technology for speedy and cost effective commercialization of new processes and products.
Manufacturing Process Development includes process improvements, optimization and debottlenecking.
AIChE has a Technical Division dedicated to Process Development activities; check out www.pd-aiche.com for more information.
