Chemfluence

Chemfluence is a national level technical symposium of the Department of Chemical Engineering, Alagappa College of Technology, Anna University, India.

The symposium mainly aims at nourishing budding chemical engineers with knowledge of core concepts and providing an opportunity to showcase their talents.

With an array of events spread across three days it seeks to provide a platform for budding Chemical Engineers across the nation to show off their technical prowess and to attain their full intellectual potential.

With innovation as inspiration and technical knowledge as a tool, Chemfluence aims at bringing a complete transformation to the very grassroots of the field.

Chemfluence gives an opportunity for engineering students to look beyond their course and curriculum, to roll back their sleeves, with the technical wand in their hands and do some real magic.

Some of the major events conducted were: Chemfluence 2014 was a six-day technical extravaganza organized by the students of Department of Chemical Engineering from 25 February to 3 March 2014 under the theme of Energy and Environment.

Acknowledging the mindset of budding engineers to assimilate concepts in a practical way, Chemfluence'14 was a platform for several Workshops such as As part of Chemfluence'14, the final day of the symposium was reserved for EECON'14 - the first National Conference on Energy & Environment.

Being the first ever symposium to be organised in the university by the student fraternity, the conference begun with the EECON'14 souvenir release and a keynote address by Dr. G. Sekaran, Chief Scientist, CLRI on handling wastes in the tanning sector at the Colin Mckenzie Auditorium.

Chairpersons for the sessions were personalities high on caliber including Dr. T. Renganathan, Assistant Professor, IIT- Madras, Dr. S. Kanmani, Director, CTDT, Anna University and Dr. M. K. Gowthaman, CLRI amongst many others.

GMW 2k16, A national conference on Global Management of Waste was conducted by the organizing committee consisting of the students and faculties of the Department of Chemical Engineering.

Today's industries are in need of innovative ideas and cost cutting techniques to increase the demands for their products in the highly competitive global market with fast depleting resources.

Though methods such as conversion of waste water to ethanol and Vermicomposting are available, a large scale, cost effective and feasible solution is very much required.

Chemfluence 2020 was the Silver Jubilee edition of the technical symposium of the Department of Chemical Engineering of ACTech, Anna University.
