A pipeline is often the most environmentally-friendly, efficient and cost-effective way of transporting liquids and gases; BHR issue a call for papers for their next Pipeline Protection Conference
Sustainable process technology that improves environmental performance without imposing extra costs is a key enabler for this growth.
When applied correctly it can lead to step changes in process performance that are acceptable to society while enabling economic benefits.
This is driven and accelerated by technical innovation and legislation, in particular the European Council's Integrated Pollution Prevention Control (IPPC) Directive that demands owners and operators adopt "Best Available Techniques".

Process development is stimulated and encouraged by bringing together the very latest techniques and thinking from across industry and academia.
Sustainable Biochemical Process Technology is a new BHR Group International Conference that incorporates the organisation's 6th International Conference of Process Intensification to extend a series that was established in 1996.
In its new guise the conference aims to build on the success of its predecessors while developing the theme of sustainability and expanding its horizons to include areas such as green chemical technology.
The organisers have issued a call for papers for presentation at the event, which will be held in Delft, The Netherlands, 27-29 September 2005.
The conference aims to provide a forum for today's practical solutions and potential ideas from across industry and academia that will become the Best Available Techniques of the future.
Contributions are invited under the broad headings of Research and Development and Design and Implementation that focus on industrial case studies illustrating application of the technology and scientific papers describing application-orientated academic work.
To promote knowledge transfer the organizers are seeking papers that bring together co-authors from different industries, industry sectors (operators/designers, suppliers/consultants etc) or from industry and academia.
The Technical Committee would especially welcome papers from industrial end-users who are at different stages of integrating intensification processes and who can present their experiences, either at the start or after successful intensification work has delivered the designed production improvements.
It is anticipated that papers accepted for presentation will focus on topics that fall into one of four themes: Intensified Equipment and Processes such as miniaturisation, multifunctional, external force fields, plasma and microwaves.
Engineering for Green Chemistry such as supercritical fluids, membranes, photocatalysis and energy sources.
Integrated Design for Sustainable Processes such as economic operations, safety and controllability, environmental and batch to continuous processing.
The Intensified Laboratory such as scaledown of continuous processes, micro- and nanoreactors, engineering of high throughput screening, measurement of kinetics and thermodynamics.
The conference is aimed at chemical engineers, academics and other professionals involved with the design and implementation of chemical process plant in industries including: bulk chemicals; fine/specialty chemicals; pharmaceuticals; biotechnology; polymers/plastics; water treatment; minerals/metals; novel materials.
Delegates seeking an introductory overview will be offered a half-day course before the conference begins.
Post-conference technical visits will provide practical examples of applications of the technology.
The event is cosponsored by TU Delft, DSM Research and Process Intensification Network NL (Senter Novem) of The Netherlands and The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the UK.
A selection of papers accepted for the conference dedicated to research and development topics will be published in a special issue of Chemical Engineering Research and Design, the official Journal of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering.
