Chemfluence 2014

Chemfluence 2014 was a six-day technical event organized by the students of Department of Chemical Engineering from 25 February to 3 March 2014 under the theme of Energy and Environment. Several Workshops and Guest lectures were conducted to impart practical and technical knowledge to student Engineers. A National Conference on Energy and Environment, EECON'14 was conducted as a part of Chemfluence'14 3 March 2014.

Workshops

Chemfluence'14 was a platform for several workshops such as

Programmable Logic Controllers
Industrial Safety & Risk Analysis
Statistical Tools for Researchers & Engineers
Instrumental Methods of Analysis
Computational Fluid Dynamics
MATLAB

EECON'14

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. Subsequently, six paper presentation sessions and a poster presentation session were held on a plethora of topics such as Solid Waste Management, Air Pollution Control and Modeling of Environmentally benign processes. 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.

Chemfluence 2016

Chemfluence for the academic year 2015-2016 was held from 18 March 2016 to 22 March 2016 based on the theme of waste management. 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. With this in concern, Chemfluence ’16 had a theme of Waste Management. Consortium of Chemical Engineers had conducted the following:

An educational fair
An alumni meet
Guest lectures and workshops
National Conference - Global Management of Waste' (GMW 2k16)'

Conference On Global Management of Waste, 'GMW 2k16'

GMW 2k16 is the national conference on Global Management of Waste 2016. It is a nationwide congregation of engineering graduates, research scholars and professionals to deal with waste management. The aim of the conference is to generate new perspectives on ways to handle waste. Waste generation is a pressing issue. In India, 94% of waste is being dumped on land. Waste includes Municipal, Agricultural, Industrial, Electronic, fuel waste and land waste. The aim of GMW 2k16 is to explore large scale and cost effective solutions for generating energy from waste.

GMW 2k16 will provide a stage for establishing new waste management related technologies that would "Reform Refuse to Riches". Video presentations will be conducted instead of the poster presentation.
