The 2006 AIChE National Meeting this Spring is being held in Orlando, FL at the Disney Dolphin Hotel and Resort. The AIChE (American Institute of Checmical Engineers) will include the "Fifth World Congress of Particle Technology" and is said to be offering over 80 sessions on particle technology. This is something that may be of interest to any process engineers that face challenges in this area. This meeting and conference is said to offer opportunities to network face-to-face with other individuals facing similar challenges and opportunities.
Background
The AIChE was founded in 1908 and is a professional association specifically dedicated to chemical engineers. It is reported that there are currently over 40,000 chemical engineer members from more than 90 countries. The AIChE states their vision "is to provide value as the global leader of the chemical engineering profession, serve as the lifetime center for professional and personal growth and security of chemical engineers, and lead as the foremost catalyst in applying chemical engineering expertise in meeting societal needs." Currently there are 110 local sections, 18 divisions, 23 national committees and 174 student chapters.
Particle Technology
The World Congress on Particle Technology is staging their congress along with this AIChE meeting. The WCPT holds their congress every four years and it has been previously located in Japan, Germany, the UK and Australia. This Spring it is being held in Orlando, FL and may offer a good opportunity for those really interested in particle technology to attend and be a part of the proceedings. Research leaders will be presenting on how they approach their work and develop solutions in their topical area. Topics include "3-D Imaging of Particulates and Multi-Phase Flow Systems", "Particle and Bulk Solids Handling Technology", "Storage and Feeding of Bulk Solids" and others.
AIChE National Meeting
The AIChE national meeting will include conferences focused on areas or industries. This year these conferences include subjects like "Particle and Bulk Powder Characterization", "Particle Design: Formation and Processing", "Particulate Handling/Processing and Granular Systems" and "Fluidization and Multiphase Flow/Separations".
