Conversion technologies for challenges in new feeds and products of chemical processes

On Friday 24 April 2009 we plan a one day symposium which will show backgrounds and applications on the theme: conversion technologies for challenges in new feeds and products of chemical processes.

Two years ago, the research institute IMPACT of the University of Twente organized a well-attended symposium on the development of strategies within the chemical industry relating to the theme “Energy & Resources”. Over 140 visitors mainly from the process industry participated enthusiastically.

Since then, we have seen huge surges in oil, gas and chemical feedstock availability and prices. Sustainability and independency are hot items. Numerous facts indicate these changes are structural rather than incidental.

Against this background it seems appropriate to ask ourselves the questions:

> How can we deal with these new feeds for our demand of new (improved) products?
> What conversion technologies are needed for chemical processes?

IMPACT invites you to participate in this symposium, during which international speakers from the process industries and academia will answer these questions for you.
