Overturning some common perceptions and creating a more flexible working environment is essential to boosting diversity and tackling the industry’s skills gap. An outline of the key challenges that businesses, industry groups and the Government must tackle.
2015 marks the centenary of the Great Shell Crisis of World War I (WWI), in which the British Army was running short of munitions. The subsequent scaling up of the supply of high explosives and propellants became a major achievement of the embryonic chemical engineering profession under the leadership of Kenneth Bingham Quinan.
For a series called Chemical Engineers who Changed the World, it would be downright rude not to feature the man who is widely regarded as the founding father of the discipline and the spiritual father of IChemE.
No chemical engineering feat better illustrates the double-edged nature of many inventions than the Haber-Bosch process.
