The CHEMUK 2024 EXPO will return on 15th & 16th May at the NEC in Birmingham. Running as part of the trade show, event organiser, UK Industry Events, has announced the launch of the new Process & Chemical Engineering Show Zone.

The Process & Chemical Engineering Show Zone will be the UK’s only event that brings process engineers from the Chemical, Food & Beverage, Pharma, Oil & Gas, and Water & Wastewater industries together to experience the very latest innovation that is shaping and inspiring the process industries under one giant roof.

The new focused event zone will present hundreds of specialist process engineering suppliers to attending process professionals that are involved directly in the design, development, management, and maintenance of operations in the processing of liquid, solid, powder, and gas-based process engineering industries.

Managing Director of UK Industry Events, Ian Stone, explained the decision to introduce the focused show zone, ‘The Process & Chemical Engineering Show Zone’ will give attendees the ability to survey the wealth of new technology and products that are available but also to be able to share that knowledge across the various vertical industries that are the application areas for process engineering.’

Speaker Programme

Running as part of the show will be the Process & Chemical Engineering speaker programme. Highlights from this year’s show will include a series of 90-minute Mini Conferences, including:

• ‘Scale-Up’ challenges, towards Sustainable Production - IChemE Mini Conference
• Bioprocess Scale up: From Bench Top to Commercialisation- IBioIC Mini Conference
• Process Intensification Symposium: Unlocking the Potential of Process Intensification for Net Zero - Hosted by Process Intensification (PI) Group - Newcastle University Mini Conference
• Technologies that will disrupt chemical manufacturing - Hosted by Innovate UK & Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) Mini Conference

In addition, the speaker programme will present several expert presentations and keynotes, including:

• IChemE Presidential Address
• Supporting your journey to Net-Zero - Innovate UK KTN on behalf of Dept for Energy Security and Net Zero/ DESNZ
• Is it just yet another fieldbus? Ethernet conquers instrumentation in process industry – ABB
• Process Intensification of Batch Chemistry Production - Thermal Fluid Systems
• New technologies from the Solvents Industry on the road to net zero – Solvents Industry Association

Industry Support:

The Process & Chemical Engineering Show is partnered with the major trade bodies and industry associations supporting the process engineering sector including, the IChemE - The Institute for Chemical Engineers, BVAA - British Valve & Actuator Association, BPMA - British Pump Manufacturers Association, UKGSA - UK Gaskets & Sealants Association, Process Intensification Network, NEPIC, and Chemicals Northwest, amongst others.
