Achema 2009 focuses on renewable resources

Achema will stage a show to spotlight recent contributions from the chemical engineering and biotechnology industries to the sustainable utilisation of renewable resources.

The show, entitled 'Sustainable Concepts for the Use of Resources', aims to create a platform where innovative concepts for the utilisation of non-fossil resources will be presented and discussed.

It will focus on a number of key sustainability trends, including technologies for the preservation and use of renewable resources such as raw materials or energy supplies.

Chemical engineering topics will include industrial ('white') biotechnology, chemical energy storage, plus chemical and thermal processes.

Solar-based technologies such as solar chemical processes, photobioreactors and photovoltaics will also be addressed.

Biotechnology topics will also be covered including: plants for the production of biofuels and biogas; biorefineries; pulping and separation techniques for biogenous material; high-performance crops; and processing and production of biopolymers and composites.

Achema is also running a scientific congress that features more than 900 specialist lectures.

Additional conference sessions focused on the show's key themes will supplement the exhibition and panel discussions will also feature at the event.

The congress allows all Achema exhibitors to detail the features and benefits of their technologies to a global audience.

Achema's 'thematic' approach allows attendees to visit other relevant areas of the show.

The event's sectors will include biotechnology, research and innovation, instrumentation/control/automation techniques, plus mechanical and thermal processes.
