Process Chemistry and Technology Group

The Process Chemistry and Technology Group (PCTG) is one of the RSC's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical science community, in line with the RSC's strategy and charter.

Aims

Identify and share important scientific advances in the application of the chemical sciences with RSC members
Implement best practice within the profession
Help to develop the skills and capabilities of RSC members throughout their careers as they study or work in the Process Industries

Scope

We define Process Chemistry and Technology to be the application of the chemical sciences and engineering to the design, development and support of production, process, quality and technical systems in industry.

Process Chemistry and Technology encompasses:

All aspects of the manufacture of raw materials, chemicals, foods, pharmaceuticals and other formulated products and their intermediates from new product research though to quality control
Chemical treatments during the manufacture of components and finished goods
The treatment and handling of materials and wastes within the utilities and manufacturing sectors
The implementation of regulatory, environmental and human safety standards

Activities

Organise scientific meetings, technical visits and workshops

Disseminate best practice and advanced applications in chemical technology and manufacturing industry
Provide a focal point within the RSC for Control, Process, and Chemical Engineers
