History of Group 12b (Pilot Plants)

The Pilot Plants programming area/committee (was Area 12a, now Area 12b) has been active within AIChE since the 1980's with an average of two programming sessions at the AIChE Annual and National Meetings. It was the only functional area in the Engineering Group (Group 12) of the AIChE National Programming Committee.

The Pilot Plant area was an industrial based programming group, which evolved from a petrochemical constituency to include participants from specialty chemicals and pharmaceutical companies, as well as a minor academia component.

In mid-1990's the Pilot Plant committee/area scope was broadened beyond programming, to include other activities such as benchmarking, networking, university-industry interactions, and others. The need to expand beyond Pilot Plants to upstream and downstream process development activities became obvious.

Following November '96 Chicago Conference Pilot Plants Committee Meeting, the group name was changed from "Engineering" to "Process Development", and the Pilot Plants area became one of the 4 proposed areas of the new Group 12 - Process Development.

The Pilot Plant leadership evolved further during the establishment of the Process Development Group (1996-1999). The current leadership is shown under the Structure page.
