It strikes me that our beloved profession is thriving in the development and application of ingenious and innovative technology, and it is constantly finding new and improved ways of working. The Global Awards entries continue to inspire me.”
The best overall entry will be presented with the Outstanding Achievement in Chemical and Process Engineering Award sponsored by ExxonMobil at the Global Awards Dinner in Manchester, UK on 20 November, along with all other award winners.

What is chemical engineering?
Chemical, biochemical and process engineering is the application of science, mathematics and economics in the process of turning raw materials into everyday, and more specialist, products. Professional chemical engineers design, construct and manage process operations all over the world. Energy, pharmaceuticals, food and drink, synthetic fibres and clean drinking water are just some of the industry sectors and products where chemical engineering plays a central role.
