2015 ChemShow - Chemical Engineering in NYC

The first and second class cadets in the chemical engineering program went to the 2015 ChemShow in New York City accompanied by LTC Geoffrey Bull, MAJ John Belanger, and MAJ Stephen Winter. The chemical engineering expo is held every other year and this year marks the 100th anniversary of the first event, which was attended by Thomas Edison. Cadets attended presentations by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) New York City Metro Section and met with chemical engineers conducting demonstrations and explaining process phenomena encountered in industry. Hundreds of pieces of equipment, from uniquely designed liquid-liquid extractors to high-performance valves, were available for cadets to learn about from experts in the field. Due to proprietary concerns for some inventions, no photography was allowed inside the event, but a couple cadets captured the memory just outside.
