5th Technology Innovation Conference

November 30, 2011 UPDATE: The 7th eChemExpo Solutions Marketplace & 5th Technology Innovations Conference will be held Wednesday May 23, 2012 in Kingsport Tennessee, home to the chemical industry's largest single chemical processing complex. This one-day exposition and Technology Innovations Conference will feature over 100 solution providers demonstrating hundreds of products and services to save you time, increase profitability, and streamline plant operations.

The 2012 theme is SUCCESSFUL EXPANSION OF MANUFACTURING & ENGINEERING CAPABILITIES IN UNCERTAIN ECONOMIES with exhibitors challenged to demonstrate breakthrough developments which improve:

Rapid execution

Capital effectiveness

Energy efficiency

Capability enhancement

Sustainable development

Executive level stakeholder interviews indicate a cautiously robust capital purchasing outlook for 2012 and 2013. Eastman Chemical Company, for example, is projecting $1.0 billion in capital purchasing over this two year period. In addition, two other billion dollar grass roots facilities are under development by other companies in the region.

Stakeholder interviews conducted over the past four months have identified real purchasing needs in many of the areas represented in 2010 plus the following new areas:

Pilot plant, modular and skid mounted designs which support the goal of rapid execution in engineering and construction

Technologies that help companies achieve their sustainability goals

Improving bench and lab scale separation capabilities

Non-traditional separations (i.e., membranes, adsorption, ion exchange)

Technologies to achieve Boiler MACT, Area Source MACT (GACT) & CISWI, and SO2 NAAQS

Innovations in mixing and vacuum technologies

Diversifying the base of solids handling technology suppliers

Integrated water management

Hand-held terminals, smart tablets, GPS, bar code scanners and wireless instrumentation including devices that are intrinsically safe (FM approved) for use in hazardous environments
