Theme

Sustainable development is a complex concept concerning a wide a range of social, techno-economic and environmental issues. Sustainable development presents us all with the challenge of living in ways which are compatible with a long-term constraints imposed by the finite carrying capacity of the closed system which is Planet Earth. The chemical engineering approach to the management of complex systems involving a material and energy flows will be essential in meeting the challenge. System-based tools for environmental management already embody chemical engineering principles, albeit applied to broader systems than those which chemical engineering conventionally covers. Clean Technology is an approach to process selection, design and operation which combines conventional chemical engineering with some of these system-based environmental management tools; it repesents an interesting new direction in the application of chemical engineering to develop more sustainable processes.

We believe SCHEMCON '09 will encourage many students and industries to take steps towards developing and applying new and cleaner technologies for the betterment of mankind. Keeping this in mind the theme for SCHEMCON '09 has been chosen as Chemical Engineers for Sustainable Development.
