On Tuesday May 11, 2021 at 2 p.m. Eastern/11 a.m. Pacific, Eric Maynard, vice president, Jenike & Johanson, will present
Proven Solutions to Four Common Problems in Pneumatic Conveying System Operations as part of
Powder & Bulk Solids DryPro webinar series.
Many powders and bulk solids present costly problems in pneumatic conveying systems. Issues such as abrasive wear, line plugging, particle attrition, and throughput limitations can impact operational efficiency, safety, and maintenance needs. This webinar will help the attendee learn about causes of these problems and what typical measures can be put in place to reduce or eliminate their effects.

Overview
It is widely recognized in many industries that sustainability is a key driver of innovation. Numerous companies, especially large ones that made sustainability as a goal, are achieving clearly more competitive advantage. The metal finishing industry, however, is clearly behind others in response to the challenging needs for sustainable development.
This research project aims to:
Create a metal-finishing-specific sustainability metrics system, which will contain sets of indicators for measuring economic, environmental and social sustainability,
Develop a general and effective method for systematically sustainability assessment of any metal finishing facility that could have multiple production lines, and for estimating the capacities of technologies for sustainability performance improvement,

Yasmin Ali speaks to Amanda Scalza, Production Manager at SC Johnson, a manufacturer of household cleaning supplies and consumer chemicals.
MY name is Yasmin Ali and I’m a chemical engineer working in the energy sector. I was originally attracted to study chemical engineering because of the breadth of career opportunities it provides. To showcase this diversity, I will be talking to a range of fellow chemical engineers to find out what they do, how they got there, and why they do it.
For the 21
st instalment in this series, I spoke to Amanda Scalza, Production Manager at SC Johnson, a manufacturer of household cleaning supplies and consumer chemicals.

NEW YORK (WABC) A national program is providing 150 scholarships to students pursuing STEM degrees at Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
Future of STEM Scholars Initiative announced an investment of $7.2 million to provide the scholarships and connect the scholars to internships, leadership development and mentoring opportunities.
The American Chemistry Council (ACC), American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), The Chemours Company and HBCU Week Foundation have recently announced the first collaborative equity, diversity and inclusion initiative. I am proud of this partnership between the HBCU Week Foundation, AIChE, the American Chemistry Council, and Chemours, said Ashley Christopher, Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation. It is through partnerships like these, that Black and brown children nationwide can actualize their full potential at HBCUs while minimizing the b
