We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Chemical Industry",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Processingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Modern innovations in oil and gas training from
TSC Simulation, which we summarised at the time by saying "The first international forum on Modern Innovations in Training in the Oil and Gas Industry was held on December 3rd and 4th in the UK".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Sempell valves on RWE high efficiency power plants from
Tyco Flow Controls: "Sempell AG, a part of Tyco Flow Control, has been awarded a USD22M contract from RWE for high pressure steam valves on their lignite power plant projects".
In November 2007, we covered the news from ISA:Instrumentation Systems and Automation Society
- take a look at Chemical industry CIDX and ISA agreement
which says: "The Chemical Industry Data Exchange (CIDX) and ISA have announced an agreement that will formalise the sharing of information and benefits between both memberships".
Take a look also at the news release from Donaldson Membranes, Tetratex media for chemical processing,
as well as Polyolefin Additives 2008 conference planned from Applied Market Information,
and Weighing requirements for the Chemical Industry from Applied Weighing International.
