Membrane Separation processes Seminar
A
one-day seminar will be run on 29 November in the
Rochestown Park Hotel on practical applications
of membrane separation processes. There have been
a number of successful applications of membranes
in our region, but also some doubts. These case
studies provide the opportunity to hear and question
practical experiences.
This
seminar is the first in a series to be presented
on the topic by CIT. The Department of Chemical
& Process Engineering is extending its technical
capacity in this field. One postgradute project
has been completed on pervaporation and a second
is about to start. Another project on nanofiltration
is complete and a second is in the pilot trial phase.
A number of undergradute projects have been completed
or are underway. We hope to make a significant announcement
in 2006 regarding developments in this area.

Accreditation
The
CIT Chemical Engineering Department has been
re-accreddited by the Instution of Chemical
Engineers (IChemE
- This is the international body which represents
the Chemical engineering profession worldwide).
The course is now accreditred at MEng level.
This
means our graduates will have their qualification
recognised at a higher level, worldwide. This
puts the Chemical Engineering degree in CIT
at the same level as similar courses offered
at colleges around the world, for example
Cambridge University. The only other Chemical
Engineering course in The Republic of Ireland
accredited at the same high level as CIT level
is that at UCD. |
 |
| We
have also been re-accredited recently by Engineers
Ireland (Previously the Institute of Engineers
of Ireland). This means that our course is approved
both nationally and internationally to the highest
levels. CIT now has the most highly accredited
Chemical Engineering course in Munster ! |
