Industrial Chemical Securit Workshop


The Industrial Chemical Security Workshop on December 6-9, 2016 seeks to improve the safety and security at facilities handling high-risk chemicals. This workshop will provide participants an opportunity to study best practices from a team of experts and identify ways to promote safety and security culture at their facility.

The work is designed to acquaint the participants with the different aspects of managing and promoting chemical security & safety. The research related to the effects of dangerous chemicals and the application of accumulated knowledge in the existing classification systems are presented in the modules. The texts can also give details needed for exercises. The factory visit helps participants to appreciate the complexity of applying safety measures but also that safety promotion can be achieved with simple planning and organization of work practices and places.

OBJECTIVES:
The overall objective of the course is to give an understanding of basic aspects related to chemical security & safety. It will:

  • Provide an introduction to the scope of hazardous substances and the problems they pose at the places of work,
  • Improve the skills of participants in recognizing hazards and preventive safety and security work practices in relation of the production and use of chemicals,
  • Improve the skills of information retrieval and convey information to workers, employers and government officials.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING


Department of Chemical Engineering was established in 2011 with undergraduate programme in chemical engineering. The department now has well established course structure and well developed laboratories for undergraduate students. Courses are designed by Board of Studies in such a manner that provide students to think beyond the class room teaching and make them able to solve open ended problems of real situations. The department is also evolving in the recent areas of research and developments.

 Department has highly dedicated faculty members with impressive teaching, industrial and research experience. Faculty members along with research scholar and undergraduate students have endeavoured a trend to build a strong alliance with the academia as well as industry by organizing different workshops and seminars.

 

PREVIOUS EVENTS


ADTCE-2014

The department had organized a One-Day National Symposium on Advancements in Design and Trends in Chemical Engineering on 11th April 2014. Shree Ganpat Raj Choudhary from RiddhiSiddhiRocquette was the chief guests for the day.

The event was also graced by the esteemed presence of Shree Jaimin Vasa, President Gujarat Chemical Association (GCA); Shree Samir Patel, Chairman & MD, Amos Enterprise Rtd; Shree RJ Shah, former CEO, Dahej SEZ, along with the senior management of PDPU. About 20 colleges and 35 industries with about 84 delegates took part in the event. The symposium witnessed PDPU and Gujarat Chemical Association (GCA) entering into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) demarcating their support in promoting innovation and advancement in the field of science and technology. The symposium proved to be a milestone in introducing and elevating the Chemical Engineering Department of PDPU, in front of the industrialists.  


International Conference on Chemical Industries (ICCI-2014)


ICCI-2014 was organized as a pre-vibrant Gujarat summit in association with Gujarat Chemical Associations (GCA), Industrial Extension Bureau (iNDEXTb), and Government of Gujarat. Held on 22-23 August, 2014, it aimed at Chemical Industry promotion, collaboration and innovations.

The objective of the event was to foster the development of Chemical Industries through their collaboration and promotion of investments in Gujarat. It had sessions on ‘Chemical Industries and Policy Perspective’, ‘CEO roundtables on Chemical Industries Prospects and Challenges. About 50 colleges and 100 industries with about 300 delegates took part in the event.
