Develop a balanced monitoring and data management policy
Article Abstract:
Chemical process industries are caught in a dilemma between the compliance assurance monitoring (CAM) regulation and the any credible evidence (ACE) regulation revisions. CAM regulations require increased process and control equiopment monitoring, while ACE revisions discourage some of the very monitoring that the CAM rule requires. Techniques in developing a monitoring and data/records management policy that will allow a facility to monitor its processes as required are presented.

A better route to alkoxysilanes
Article Abstract:
The top prize at the 1999 Kirpatrick Chemical Engineering Achievement Awards was given to CK Witco Inc for its imaginative organofunctional- alkoxysilanes technology. The Tarrytown, NY-based company was recognized for developing the Direct Trimethoxysilane (TMS) process that allows the production of alkoxysilane without the associate need for a chlorosilane plant and a large TMS inventory.
