INEOS and Petroineos at Grangemouth partner with Plastic Energy – Hydrocarbon Engineering

December 20, 2021 | Author: admin

INEOS Olefins & Polymers Europe and Plastic Energy have announced that they are working together on a trial to convert hard to recycle plastic material, such as flexible packaging, back into food-grade quality plastic for use in food packaging, and other high hygiene standard applications.

The companies have come together to launch a preliminary trial in 1Q22 at the INEOS Grangemouth facility in Scotland. This preliminary trial and the evolution of the policy environment in the UK will inform the development of a large-scale advanced recycling plant, which aims to be the first of its kind in the UK.

Advanced Recycling creates a closed-loop system for plastics management, helps reduce landfill, prevents plastic from ending up in the environment, and reduces the use of fossil derived raw materials. The circular re-use of end of life plastic is a further step to reduce total emissions.

INEOS Olefins & Polymers Europe and Plastic Energy have a shared goal to create a world class circular economy value chain in advanced recycling, driving circularity to create the next generation of food-grade recycled content packaging.

Plastic Energy uses its advanced recycling process to convert post-consumer plastic, otherwise destined for landfill or incineration, through a pyrolysis process, into a liquid raw material (called TACOIL) for re-use in the next generation of plastic production. TACOIL is used as a replacement for fossil derived materials, to make food-grade and/or medical grade plastics.

The trial will take place in partnership with Petroineos at Grangemouth. It will use the existing refinery operations to process the TACOIL supplied by Plastic Energy, which already operate two recycling plants in Spain.

Plastic Energys technology allows for the improvement in circularity of highly demanding labelling, and packaging applications, such as chocolate bars, snacks and biscuits, pet and dry food. The new project is complementary to the existing use of mechanically recycled plastic in INEOS Recycl-IN range of products.

Petroineos will supply the recycled raw material to INEOS Olefins & Polymers Europe to be transformed into Certified Circular plastic with the identical properties expected of conventional plastics made from oil and gas.

The partners recognise the need for collaboration to make such innovations sustainable at scale in the spirit of SDG#17 Partnerships for the Goals, each partner contributes complementary skills and expertise that together create the circular value chain.

Carlos Monreal, Founder and CEO of Plastic Energy, stated: We are pleased to announce this trial in Scotland, which exemplifies a strong partnership between companies working together to take big strides to reduce plastic waste in the UK. Working with INEOS, we are pleased to see our advanced recycling technology being used as a core component to improve the circularity of packaging.

Peter Grant, Business Director at INEOS Olefins & Polymers (UK) Europe added: INEOS is delighted to be working with Plastic Energy at Grangemouth (as well as our colleagues in Petroineos) to lead the way on this important reprocessing route. Turning end of life plastic into new food-grade quality packaging products makes environmental and commercial sense. This innovative trial is a further positive step towards eliminating waste and makes circular economy solutions possible. Advanced recycling adds to the existing initiatives within our product portfolio to make greater use of post-consumer material, while ensuring that sustainable solutions meet all safety, quality and performance in-use standards.

Paul Sheerin: Engineers remain well placed to weather the storm – HeraldScotland

December 20, 2021 | Author: admin

In disbelief that another 12 months has almost passed once again, I found myself this week recalling a former colleague from my engineering career. Each time I would ask a polite pleasantry such as how are you doing today?, the same answer would come back every time: Too soon to say.. At first, I wasnt sure how to take this evasive answer, but as I got to know them, I saw that in fact as well as being their own wee trademark, it was generally honest, as not all the facts were yet known to answer one way or another.

It feels like the right approach for some of the questions I can think of for our manufacturing sector as we approach the end of another turbulent year.

Covid is the perfect example of the right question for that answer, as the rollercoaster just keeps going, and instead of coasting to slower speeds, Omicron has given it a boost for who knows how many more loops of the circuit. Our sector has managed the Covid impact exceptionally well, achieving a condition of well-managed risk, but not without its cost. The extra measures needed to keep workplaces safe consume management time, lower productivity, and rising cases now threaten availability of resource as requirement to isolate is feared to grow again, stripping out much-needed people for 10 days at a time. Thats an especially unwelcome challenge coming as it does when our sector is extremely busy across the board following three quarters of increased order intake, something thats usually cause for celebration. One manufacturing leader remarked that they simply couldnt enjoy their record levels of orders because of the multiple barriers that stood in the way of delivery.

That faster-than-expected pick-up in business has brought more rapid reductions in unemployment than we could have reasonably expected, reducing the much-feared impact on young people in particular. But the pace of this has overshot the balance point quickly, landing us in a deficit that underlines the challenges we have in Scotland: we are an ageing population, with a low proportion of young people and falling numbers of net in-migration. The answer to this barrier lies in really seeing the value of people and then underlining the need to replace them with automation and efficiency everywhere thats possible, because they are just too valuable to waste on tasks that we can easily automate or eliminate. Id argue that this is the case whether they are leaving school or well into their career we will need them all and its an area where the manufacturing sector needs to lead by example, helped and encouraged by us, the Scottish Manufacturing Advisory Service, the National Manufacturing Institute for Scotland, further education colleges and other training providers.

Was the term supply chain used in society outside of business circles before the pandemic? Its in common usage now, an explanation for the lack of availability of new cars to shortages on shop shelves, and for manufacturing, its the restricted availability and costs of raw materials, components and the trucks and containers to move them around that provides the headache. Its a challenge that has hit everything from steel to semiconductors, with the greatest frustration being that there is no clarity or agreement as to when this deficit and its impact is going to end. Whilst there is some evidence of stabilisation of prices, its not consistent, and prices and lead times remain high with too much variation for any kind of meaningful planning.

A strange year then in many ways recovery at a rate that we wouldnt have dared to forecast, alongside challenges and barriers that have soured the relief that such an upturn would normally bring. It might be too soon to say then what 2022 will bring, but what I can reflect is a feeling of enormous pride within the sector in the way that they have managed their businesses through the impact of Covid and are using that resilience to ensure that Scottish manufacturing is poised to step up and on. Our largest engineering companies can remind us visibly of that pride in progress with HMS Glasgow on the quayside at BAE Systems Govan, or the Venturer building that can manufacture two Type 31 Frigates side by side at Babcock Rosyth. These are great examples of our capability, but only the ones we can see, with many more inspiring examples in companies of all sizes and sectors across the country. For me, these wider examples that I have the privilege to see underline that, despite the difficulties of the last two years, our manufacturing and engineering sector has weathered this storm well and remains well placed to continue to do so.

Death of engineer and Ipswich company boss Ron Gosling – Ipswich Star

December 20, 2021 | Author: admin

Published:7:30 AM December 19, 2021

Ipswich businessman Ron Gosling has died at the age of 74 after four years of treatment for cancer.

Mr Gosling was chairman of the Christy Turner group of companies that produces milling equipment that is exported around the world. He was passionate about engineering and business, and was President of the Ipswich Engineering Society twice, including the societys centenary year.

He was also a director of the New Wolsey Theatre.

Mr Gosling joined local engineering business W G Gosling in 1969 after an apprenticeship at Reavells in Ipswich. In 1982 he became Managing Director of Gosling Group and E, R & F Turner.

Acquiring the Miracle Mills business in 1986 and adding the Christy Hunt business to the group in 2004, the multiple brands of W G Gosling, Christy & Norris, E, R & F Turner and Miracle Mills combined under the new Christy Turner brand.

In 2013, Mr Goslingbecame Chairman of the group of companies, and at a time when many Ipswich engineering firms were failing, hemanaged to drive the historic company into international success with timely innovation and development.

From introducing the first flaking mills with computerised roll-gap control, to developing a 600 ml roller mill that is sold worldwide to produce Cornflakes, Mr Goslingwas proud to have succeeded in being at the heart of a thriving engineering business making machines that last.

HissonTonywill be taking on the role of chairman. He said: Dad prided himself on having a family feel to the business with high standards of engineering, craftmanship and honesty and care for staff. He was hard working, always busy. Dad has been my role model all my life and I will follow his example.

Ron Gosling was also a director of the New Wolsey theatre in the early years of this century and was a keen amateur golfer - he was Captain of the Ipswich Golf Club in 2004.

Commins hails strong driver/engineer relationship with Kostecki – Speedcafe

December 20, 2021 | Author: admin

George Commins (middle)

George Commins has reflected positively on his first season at Erebus Motorsport engineering Brodie Kostecki.

A respected figure who spent a year working for the Williams Formula 1 team as a vehicle dynamics engineer, Commins switched from Kelly Racing to Erebus ahead of the 2021 Repco Supercars Championship.

The Barry Ryan-led outfit defied all expectations to have both Kostecki and Will Brown finish inside the top 10 of the championship, collectively picking up six podiums including a race win along the way.

Its a great atmosphere at Erebus, its a very young and enthusiastic team, said Commins.

It reminds me of some of the teams I worked with earlier in my career, its been a lot of fun.

Its very much a work hard, play hard sort of environment which is a great thing to have within race teams.

Commins noted fresh ideas in the brains trust, plus the presence of two rookie drivers, made for a clean sheet that proved beneficial.

We ran the cars very differently to how Erebus cars have been run in the past, particularly in terms of the set-up philosophy and some of the ideas behind the car, he said.

I think between that and the drivers being close to maximising everything theyve got, every time they get in the car, its made a massive difference.

As rookies, they dont have any ideas about what things should be like, they are just focused on getting in the car and giving it their all so we can make the changes we need to move forward.

Working with Kostecki proved a particularly enjoyable experience: Brodie and I have a lot of trust and respect in what each other says.

At the start of the year we were feeling each other out to see what things we would both respond to and what we needed from each other.

From Townsville onwards we had a good balance of him pushing the set-up direction, while I pushed him on his driving and what he needs to do to improve.

Its probably one of the strongest driver/engineer relationships Ive had in a long time.

Having admittedly underachieved a little bit following a stunning Sandown podium in March, Commins has high hopes after finishing the 2021 season on a high as Kostecki and David Russell combined for a Bathurst 1000 podium.

I think pace-wise, we definitely need to pick up where we left off from Sydney and Bathurst, he continued.

I think they need to be regularly in the top five in terms of pace in all sessions, particularly qualifying.

Both Kostecki and Brown will return at Erebus in 2022.

Editorial: OU-Tulsa computer science expansion will have long-term payoffs – Tulsa World

December 20, 2021 | Author: admin

Thats why OU-Tulsas plans are so important. The school will increase its focus on software engineering, cybersecurity and embedded systems by hiring new faculty and staff to provide instruction and constructing new teaching and research labs. It will add several hundred students to the enrollment and hire more than 20 faculty members over six years.

This is being done in partnership with the George Kaiser Family Foundation. GKFF has a history of supporting OU-Tulsa including sponsoring multiple endowed chairs. Four of those faculty chairs will be directed toward this initiative, and the foundation will provide enrichment funding to assist with underwriting the computer science expansion.

The expansion adds a public higher education option to Tulsans wanting to seek these degrees. Other schools also have credentials and degrees in tech areas, but it hasnt been enough.

Tulsa cannot go wrong with having more opportunities for computer science and STEM degrees. To attract higher-paying jobs, the city needs a higher-educated pool of employees for hiring.

To do this, OU-Tulsa and GKFF are stepping up to bolster the workforce infrastructure that will have long-term payoffs.

Launching your computer science career in the Air Force – ZDNet

December 20, 2021 | Author: admin

A significant number of the Air Force's more than 100 jobs are cyber or IT-focused.

"We have a variety of cyber specialties in the Air Force," Leslie Brown, chief of public affairs for the Air Force Recruiting Service, said in an email to ZDNet. "Enlisted applicants will be able to choose from numerous careers such as knowledge ops, or from careers that are mainly desk jobs such as cyber programming, or a career that is a hybrid between a desk job, and on the field such as client systems or a career that is mainly outside such as cable antenna systems."

According to Brown, nine cyber-related enlisted jobs are available to people serving in their initial enlistment contract. Two officer cyber-focused officer careers are available. Air Force jobs and all military jobs come with unique benefits, challenges, and responsibilities.

Some of the benefits include professional hands-on training and job experience, money available for higher education, free on-base lodging and meals, healthcare, and access to military exchange stores, which usually offer lower prices for everything from gas to groceries to household goods. Military members also receive a high level of public trust and respect.

In exchange, the military requires you to stay physically fit, obey orders, and perform consistently at a high level and may require you to relocate or work in hostile overseas environments on short notice. You can't just quit if you're frustrated with a job assignment or supervisor. And most importantly, you may face dangerous, life-threatening wartime or combat situations.

If you're OK with those sacrifices, launching your computer science career in the Air Force might be something to consider. Keep reading to learn more about some of the steps you'll need to take.

The Air Force's recruitment website has detailed information on the requirements to enlist or serve as an officer. Enlisting in the Air Force gives you the opportunity to work in an entry-level position. Enlisted roles are available to people with a high school diploma or GED. Officers have leadership roles, which requires a four-year degree.

Here's a brief snapshot of what you need to know in order to enlist in a computer science-related military career:

Enlisted candidate entry requirements include taking the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test (ASVAB). This timed test measures your aptitude in four areas: verbal skills, math, science and technical ability, and spatial ability. If you're interested in computer science, your ASVAB score and educational background will influence your career opportunities, including Air Force careers in cybersecurity and IT.

After taking the ASVAB and meeting the education, health, and citizenship requirements, enlisted personnel must complete the Air Force basic military training. Air Force basic training is conducted at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in Texas. The Air Force is also handling basic training for people enlisting in the Space Force.

After basic training, also informally known as boot camp, you start training specific to your job. Air Force tech school training is conducted at bases throughout the US. Training time depends on your job and may run from six weeks to more than a year.

To become an Air Force officer, several options are available. First, officer candidates must take the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test (AFOQT). If you have a bachelor's degree or are on track to complete your degree within one year, you can apply to and complete officer training school. The Air Force conducts officer training school at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery, Alabama.

Another option is entering a college-level reserve officer training corps (ROTC) program. When you earn your bachelor's degree, you'll receive a commission as an officer. You can also apply to and graduate from the Air Force Academy. However, admission to this elite institution is very competitive.

The Air Force is offering bonuses to entice people to fill the military's in-demand IT jobs.

Bonuses of $12,000 to $20,000 are available for cyber-related jobs, depending on the certification level. If you want to serve but seek even more bonus money, you'll need to look outside the cyber field. For example, enlistment bonuses of $50,000 are available for explosive ordnance disposal and special warfare operators. Prospective applicants should note that bonus amounts frequently change depending on the Air Force's personnel needs.

While the military offers the excitement of doing top-secret work that protects national security, Brown said the Air Force recognizes that many airmen want to return to civilian life after working in the Air Force.

When those airmen step back into the civilian world, "we feel we are returning outstanding citizens who will make our communities better and may end up at jobs helping us protect our banks, power grids, and economy as a whole," Brown said.

Dr. Michael J. Kirchner is an assistant professor of organizational leadership at Purdue University Fort Wayne, where he teaches courses in leadership and human resource development. Dr. Kirchner also serves as the campus' veteran resource center director.

Previously, Kirchner oversaw the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Military and Veterans Resource Center, where he guided programming for the campus' 1,500+ military-affiliated student population. Under his leadership (2013-2016), the campus built a nationally recognized "military-college-career" framework focusing on supporting student veteran transitions.

Kirchner earned his Ph.D. in human resource development from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. His research on career transitions and leadership development has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals, including Human Resource Development Quarterly, Advances in Developing Human Resources, New Horizons in Adult Education and Human Resource Development, and Industrial and Commercial Training.

Kirchner is the founder and president of Time for Development LLC, where he provides consulting to organizations on military-friendly programming, human resource development strategy, and training design. He served for a year in Baghdad, Iraq, from 2004-2005 as part of the U.S. Army National Guard.

Kirchner is a paid member of the Red Ventures Education freelance review network.

Cornell Tech celebrates 10th anniversary of winning NYC competition | Cornell Chronicle – Cornell Chronicle

December 20, 2021 | Author: admin

NEW YORK (December 19, 2021) Today marks 10 years since New York Citys competition to build an Applied Sciences graduate campus awarded Cornell University and the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology the bid to create Cornell Tech. Since its inception in 2011, Cornell Tech has played a role in helping New York City become a national hub for tech innovation, diversifying and strengthening the citys economic base to stay competitive on the world stage.

Over the past decade, Cornell Tech has become a leading model for how to bridge the gap between academia and industry, a highly sustainable and open campus, and a strong community partner on Roosevelt Island, said Cornell Tech Dean Greg Morrisett. Cornell Techs impact over the last 10 years has exceeded our initial mandate, churning out valuable startups and groundbreaking research, and providing technical education to a diverse array of students, from PhD and masters level to K-12.

As a campus specifically built for the digital age, Cornell Tech has demonstrated the viability of its founding vision by bringing together academia and industry to elevate pioneering leaders and transformational new research, products, companies and social ventures. Since inception, the institution has graduated 1,200 highly skilled tech alumni, launched more than 80 startups and raised nearly $1 billion in fundingand in the process has helped make New York Citys startup ecosystem the second most valuable in the world. Roughly 90 percent of its start-ups have remained in New York to continue to build and grow, hiring nearly 400 employees and raising more than $150 million for their companies.

Cornell Techs reach also extends far beyond the limits of its physical campus. Its Break Through Tech initiative has helped City University of New York (CUNY) nearly double the number of women pursuing computer science, and expanded to Chicago, Miami and Washington D.C. The K-12 program has educated dozens of teachers on how to teach tech and infuse it into a schools curriculum, reaching thousands of kids from underserved regions throughout the city.

Cornell Techs academic model is unique to both New York City and academia at large in tackling some of todays most pervasive issues both in the urban and tech realms. For example, the Runway Startup Postdoc Program at the Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute ushers recent PhD graduates in digital technology fields through a paradigm shift from an academic mindset to an entrepreneurial outlook. At the Jacobs Institute -- which is part business school, part research institution, and part startup incubator -- postdocs receive financial support and are mentored by faculty, industry leaders and entrepreneurs. Today, Cornell Tech has become one of the most active startup incubators in the world.

All of this innovative work is happening on a 12-acre campus on Roosevelt Island that recently completed its first phase of construction and features some of the most environmentally friendly and energy-efficient buildings in the world. Cornell assembled a team of award-winning architects to design a highly sustainable and open campus that facilitates the interaction between academia and industry thats central to Cornell Techs mission.

The first phase included:

The Cornell Tech campus officially opened to students in September 2017, and, when fully completed, will be home to more than 2,000 graduate students and hundreds of faculty and staff.

About Cornell Tech

Cornell Tech is Cornell Universitys groundbreaking campus for technology research and education on Roosevelt Island in New York City. Our faculty, students and industry partners work together in an ultra-collaborative environment, pushing inquiry further and developing meaningful technologies for a digital society. Founded in partnership with the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology and the City of New York, Cornell Tech achieves global reach and local impact, extending Cornell Universitys long history of leading innovation in computer science and engineering.
