Kirkpatrick Award Finalists
Chemical Engineering magazine has announced names of the 5 finalists for the biennial Kirkpatrick Chemical Engineering Achievement Award :
1) The Dow Chemical Co. (Midland, Mich.) and BASF SE (Ludwigshafen, Germany), for an industrial process for producing propylene oxide (PO) via hydrogen peroxide
2) DuPont (Wilmington, Del.), for commercializing Cerenol — a new family of high-performance polyether glycols made from corn-derived 1,3-propanediol (Bio-PDO)
3) Lucite International (Southampton, U.K.), for its Alpha technology — a new process for making methyl methacrylate (MMA)
4) Solvay S.A. (Brussels, Belgium), for its Epicerol process — a new process for producing epichlorohydrin from glycerine
5) Uhde GmbH (Dortmund, Germany) and Evonik Industries AG (Essen, Germany) for the HPPO process for making PO via H2O2
