More members turning to Knovel
Use of IChemE’s Knovel library rose in March 2012 by 23% compared to the same period in 2011.
The Knovel library is an online resource containing over 300 books and technical references, including technical information, and analytical and search tools. Some of the most popular downloads include volumes of Coulson and Richardson's Chemical Engineering, Loss Prevention in the Process Industries, Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary and Ludwig's Applied Process Design for Chemical Petrochemical Plants.
"Knovel is seen as an valuable member benefit, particularly for those in remote locations. Our promotion has driven a surge in usage and builds stronger links with IChemE's global membership," said IChemE policy director Andrew Furlong.

About chemical engineers
Chemical, biochemical and process engineering is the application of science, maths and economics to the process of turning raw materials into everyday products. Professional chemical engineers design, construct and manage process operations all over the world. Pharmaceuticals, food and drink, synthetic fibres and clean drinking water are just some of the products where chemical engineering plays a central role.
