WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT
2 2020 AIChE SPRING MEETING & 16TH GCPS
Dear Colleagues:
Welcome to Houston and to the 2020 AIChE Spring Meeting and 16th Global Congress on Process Safety (GCPS).
Our meeting showcases chemical engineering achievements at their most ambitious and inspiring — with expertise shared by practitioners, thought-leaders, and innovators around the globe.
The meeting programmers have taken into account the changing ways that chemical engineers work, learn, and build their careers — with topical conferences branching into new and timely areas, including a track devoted to career skills strategies.
While the Spring Meeting continues to highlight technologies in Industry 4.0 and process intensification, the many vital contributions of our profession are also displayed in new tracks devoted to the safe transition to a hydrogen economy, chemical engineering’s role in helping to solve plastic waste proliferation and more.
The stage is set for our conference on Monday morning when Bob Patel, CEO of LyondellBasell presents the AIChE Government and Industry Leaders (AGILE) Award keynote on emerging trends for the global chemical engineering enterprise.
Breakthroughs in big data and digitalization underscore many of our program tracks. Other topical conferences cover developments in clean and efficient energy, ethylene production, upstream engineering and flow assurance, gas utilization, distillation, refinery processing, and — new this year — heat exchangers.
The Fuels and Petrochemicals Division’s programming begins on Monday with a plenary session jointly hosted by the Industry 4.0 Topical Conference. Keynote speakers at the plenary include Lloyd Colegrove (Dow Chemical) and Max Eklund (Fluor) and Todd Sutton (Zachry Construction Corporation).
A theme that underscores the entire meeting is safety — and that is brought to the fore at our 16th Global Congress on Process Safety (GCPS). Organized by AIChE’s Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) and the Safety and Health Division, the Global Congress starts on Monday with a plenary keynote by Shakeel Kadri, Executive Director and CEO of the Center for Process Safety. In addition to program tracks on loss prevention, Process Plant Safety, and process safety management mentoring, this year’s GCPS features the 35th CCPS International Conference, which will assess the industry’s progress toward CCPS’s Vision 20/20 goals of the past decade, and consider process-safety next-steps beyond 2020. Also at the GCPS, Perspectives on Process Safety from Around the Globe will be presented in Spanish, and Portuguese. The GCPS culminates with a popular returning session devoted to recent process safety Case Studies and Lessons Learned.
Also, those of you who registered for the meeting bundle have a reserved seat at our keynote luncheons — detailed in the featured events pages.
That’s just some of what’s in store. With so many opportunities available, the best way to organize your time is to download the AIChEvents app. Aside from the many learning opportunities, be sure to spend some time networking with colleagues — and discovering new ones — at our receptions, poster sessions, and in the exhibit area.
On behalf of AIChE’s Board of Directors, I thank the meeting programmers and all the presenters for their generous contributions of time, energy and ideas. We also extend our thanks to the sponsors and exhibitors — and to all of you for taking part in the AIChE community. Your active and continued participation are the catalysts for this week’s conference and for all of AIChE’s endeavors. Enjoy your time with us.
Sincerely,
Monty Alger2020 AIChE President

REGULATIONS + SAFETY INFORMATION
A NOTE ON PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY FROM THE MEETING ORGANIZERSAIChE Meetings are one of the primary ways the Institute fulfills its mission to advance the development and exchange of relevant knowledge.
The content presented at the 2020 AIChE® Spring Meeting and 16th Global Congress on Process Safety is the property of the presenters and the firms where they work.
Recording of sessions or taking photos of slides is strictly prohibited.
Thank you.
SAFETY TIPSEnhance your experience at the 2020 AIChE® Spring Meeting and 16th Global Congress on Process Safety by staying safe. Here are some safety tips to observe:
• When off the hotel grounds, please do not wear your badge in public. Doing so can give professional opportunists access to your name, which they may then exploit to your detriment.
• When you are through with your badge, turn it in to registration. Do not leave it laying in the open so that unscrupulous individuals have access to it. In addition, please do not let anyone have access to your badge for any purpose. Lending badges to others for access to the meeting is strictly prohibited.
• Have your room key out and ready when entering your hotel room. Fumbling in an attempt to locate it in either a pocket or purse outside your door could be a security risk.
• Never give a stranger your room number. • Upon check-in to your room, note where the nearest fire exits are, so you know in which direction to go quickly in case of a fire
emergency. Remember – smoke rises, so if necessary, while exiting, get as close to the floor as possible when there is heavy smoke present.
• When out in an urban area, it is advisable to travel in groups or pairs. • Looking down and concentrating on a mobile device while texting or listening to music through earbuds can be a hazardous activity.
Doing so while you are attempting to cross a street, get on or off an escalator, walk in a crowd, or make your way through an exhibit area can all be harmful to your safety and the safety of others.
• Recently, there have been many incidents of distracted meeting attendees who have attempted to walk up the down escalators or walk down the up escalators in our meeting venues.
• Please take advantage of the ample seating provided in our meeting facilities in order to use your mobile device(s) in a calm setting, so that you have a safe, enjoyable experience at AIChE meetings.
• Avoid excessive consumption of alcohol. Alcohol reduces inhibitions and impairs the capacity to reason – a perfect formula to make you a target for unscrupulous behavior.
This security advisory was implemented by AIChE’s Executive Board of the Program Committee (EBPC) with your safety in mind. We welcome any other suggestions you may have to help attendees have a safe and pleasant experience at our meetings.
Life is Unpredictable.Your process safety shouldn’t be.
Be prepared.
Rounding up process safety’s toughest challenges for more than 20 years.

DATA ANALYTICS AND SEARCH TOOLS FOR THE ENGINEERING WORKFORCE 10:15 AM - 11:45 AM | Hilton Americas, Room 340 B - 3rd FloorPresenter: Chris Cogswell, PhDThe engineering literature existing in the world today is vast, comprised of journal articles, conference proceedings, textbooks, reference works, and internal data sets. Managing and utilizing this information in an efficient way can have a large impact on the smooth operation of an engineering firm, with information and procedural bottlenecks existing at the points where projects transition from laboratory testing to prototyping, prototyping to pilot scale, and finally from pilot scale to production scale. Efficient literature search methods and easier access to information allows project teams to learn from the mistakes of others, avoiding costly rework and risks that otherwise may not have been apparent. Similarly the ability to understand a research field quickly through analysis of the underlying engineering literature may open a team to unforeseen innovations, and allow teams to find promising new technologies and ideas to get ahead of competitors. In order to help ease the understanding of the underlying engineering literature, and allow for efficient obtainment of needed reference information Elsevier has a number of tools which can be used. In this session, we will discuss how to use these tools to promote overall understanding of the existing literature and find spaces where gaps exist, as well as improving the data collection workflow required for valuable contributions in the field, in the lab, and as a project manager. Specific topics will include utilizing faceted search strategies to begin a broad literature overview, numeric filtering for very detailed application searches, and finding material and property data quickly using the tools ‘Knovel’ and ‘Engineering Village’.
MANAGING PRESSURE RELIEF DATA THROUGHOUT ASSETS LIFECYCLE 10:15 AM - 11:45 AM | George R. Brown Convention Center, Room 362 D - 3rd Floor Presenters: Dr. Nancy Faulk, Sr. Process Safety Consultant Anushree Datta, Pressure Relief Systems Technical LeadDespite technological advances in automation, modeling, big data management, and growing awareness for process safety management, a systematic approach to manage process safety information (PSI) is still evolving.One of the most critical process safety barriers is the pressure relief and disposal (PRD) system, often described as the last layer of protection against loss of containment. Historically managing data of this critical process safety barrier has not been given the attention it deserves resulting in challenges to manage the PRD design to meet the process safe operating conditions throughout the assets’ lifecycle.In this workshop, Siemens subject matter experts will share process industry’s best-in-class practices and case studies for PRD data management from early design stages, e.g., pre-FEED, throughout various process operating phases. These practices aim to improve PRD inherently safer and optimized design while establishing data management systems that ensure efficient data accessibility, risk visibility, and effective decision making by incorporating following elements:
• Establishing consistent PRD design and data management practices
• Improving PRD systems inherently safer design
• Enhancing management of process safe operating limits• Improving visibility into PRD performance indicators

PREPARE AND PREVENT, DON’T REPAIR AND REPENT: SIMULATION BASED SAFETY & INTEGRITY FOR ASSET LIFECYLE MANAGEMENT 1:30 PM - 3:00PM | Hilton Americas, Room 338 - 3rd Floor Presenter: Ravi AglaveIn the energy and process industries, the integrity of process system components such as pressure safety valves, pipelines, chokes, heat exchangers is critical for maximizing system performance and uptime and ensuring worker health and safety. Several phenomena such as erosion, corrosion, vibration, thermal stress and fatigue, when not paid attention to can result in catastrophic accidents. Risks to system integrity must be addressed at the design phase and across the full lifecycle of the equipment or system in operation.In this seminar, we will present with the help of case studies, the value of engineering simulation not just in the design but also in operating phases of a process system in order to quantify, manage and avoid integrity risks associated with process system operation. Several real-world examples of simulation techniques that were used to identify and remedy problems related to material selection, vibration, acoustics, and erosion, in process system components will be presented. We will also provide a short demo of STAR-CCM+, the primary platform used for such simulations.

AIChE® VOLUNTEER + MEETING ATTENDEECONDUCT GUIDELINES
PB MARCH 29 - APRIL 2, 2020 • HOUSTON, TX148 2020 AIChE SPRING MEETING & 16TH GCPS
AIChE’s volunteers are the core of the Institute and make all of its programs, conferences and educational efforts possible. These offerings provide excellent opportunities for AIChE members and meeting attendees to gain greater technical expertise, grow their networks, and enhance their careers. AIChE events provide engineers, scientists, and students a platform to present, discuss, publish and exhibit their discoveries and technical advances.
At all times, volunteers and meeting attendees should act in accordance with AIChE’s Code of Ethics, upholding and advancing the integrity, honor and dignity of the chemical engineering profession. AIChE’s Board of Directors has developed these guidelines to foster a positive environment of trust, respect, open communications, and ethical behavior. These guidelines apply to meetings, conferences, workshops, courses and other events organized by AIChE or any of its entities and also to volunteers who conduct other business and affairs on behalf of AIChE.
SPECIFICALLY:
1. Volunteers and meeting attendees should understand and support AIChE’s Code of Ethics.
2. Volunteers and meeting attendees should contribute to a collegial, inclusive, positive and respectful environment for fellow volunteers and attendees, and other stakeholders, including AIChE staff.
3. Volunteers and meeting attendees should avoid making inappropriate statements or taking inappropriate action based on race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, gender expression, gender identity, marital status, political affiliation, presence of disabilities, or educational background. We should show consistent respect for colleagues, regardless of discipline, employment status, and organizations for which they work, whether industry, academia, or government.
4. Disruptive, harassing or other inappropriate statements or behavior toward other volunteers, members, another stakeholders, including AIChE staff, is unacceptable.
5. Volunteers and meeting attendees should obey all applicable laws and regulations of the relevant governmental authorities while volunteering or attending meetings. Volunteers and meeting attendees taking part in any AIChE event, including the Chem-E-Car Competition®, should also comply with all applicable safety guidelines.
Any violations of the foregoing should be reported to the President or the Executive Director of the Institute.

TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL 2020 AIChE® SPRING MEETING & 16TH GCPS
Say hello to everyone. You might make someone’s day.
Introduce yourself to people you don’t know. They may be your next good friends.
Stop and smile. You will brighten the room considerably.
Be understanding. Everybody makes mistakes.
Help those with less experience. We were all novices at some point.
Respect others. We all have something valuable to contribute.
Value staff and volunteers. They are here for you.
Be kind. You will never like everybody, but you can be cordial to all.
Enjoy the meeting! You can have fun while sharing, learning and networking.
