Coming Up in 2007

As the new year opens, Chemical Engineering is gearing up to offer a broad range of articles, products, activities and opportunities, print and offline alike (including electronic products) for our readers. Here are some of the highlights. As is the case every year, we plan to publish 24 feature reports in CE, on a diverse range of practical topics. Here is a sampling: • Safety in solids handling (this issue, pp. 34–39) • Cartridge filtration (this issue, pp. 40–44) • Dealing with VOC emissions • Batch process control • Flowmeters • Electrochemistry • Corrosion monitoring • Energy efficiency • Distillation • Coping with greenhouse gases • Pump selection • Mixing • Wireless process signals • Green engineering. During 2007, we will again present our biennial Kirkpatrick Chemical Engineering Achievement Award, which will aim to honor the most noteworthy chemical engineering technology to have been successfully commercialized, anywhere in the world, during 2005 or 2006. For details on the Award competition, plus information on how to submit a nomination, see p.23. The biennial Chem Show will take place in New York in the fall and, once again, CE will organize…
