Oral session (SS-1 to SS-7)

SS-1	Technical Innovations to Sustain Japanese Industry

Mar. 14 (Thu) 9:00-12:00 Hall A (Program)

We introduce examples focusing on new technologies, driving skills and new ideas and approaches for the development of chemical industry and Japanese industry.

SS-2	Efforts of Development-oriented Companies Aiming for a Recycling-based Society

Mar. 14 (Thu) 13:40-17:20 Hall A (Program)

Collaborative research with universities and other research institutions is an important point in order for development-oriented enterprises aiming to develop business with technology as the core, in order to survive in the future global competitive environment. Furthermore, the realization of a resource recycling society as a request of society is becoming an important theme. This time we will introduce the themes that have been proven from among those research themes.

SS-3	Management Issues of Chemistry Related Industries How do Chemistry-related Industries Tackle SDGs - From a Management Perspective -

Mar. 14 (Thu) 13:40-17:30 Hall B (Program)

The SDGs adopted by the United Nations in September 2015 (goals for sustainable development) are 17 goals in 2030, 169 targets have been established, and the Japan Business Federation revised the Charter of Corporate Behavior that Keidanren combined with Society 5.0 There is growing interest, such as doing. Also in the chemical industry, the JCIA announced a vision summarizing "How can the chemical industry contribute to SDGs" in May 2017, and chemistry related companies also announced a vision to each of them We will. However, at present it seems that the impression that it is staying at the management level level is also strong, and it can be said that there is a strong tendency to close up IR perspective from institutional investors. SDGs think that there are many themes that are extremely closely related to the chemical industry such as environment, safety, energy and health, and that we can also be said to be an industrial field that can make the most contribution to this activity. New technologies such as IoT, AI and big data will also play a major role in this realization. For this time, I would like to deepen the recognition of the importance of efforts for SDGs as a medium-to-long term management task of chemical companies and to concretely discuss the possibility that chemical engineering can contribute.

SS-4	Challenge of Chemistry Related Industries toward Decarbonization

Mar. 15 (Fri) 9:20-12:00 Hall A (Program)

Decarbonization aiming at zero emissions of greenhouse gases is a global trend as a result of the Paris Agreement. In this session, we will introduce strategic initiatives towards increase of non-exhaustible resources and renewable carbon resources. We consider the path of next generation energy policy towards 2050.

SS-5	Unit Operation Which Should Not be Forgotten - (Practical Powder Handling Technology) -

Mar. 15 (Fri) 13:00-15:40 Hall A (Program)

The chemical plant process is a combination of basic unit operations. However, in the actual process, there are many events that can not be dealt with by the unit operation overview in the textbook. In such circumstances, we will introduce correspondence examples and the latest technology of each company. The theme of this time is "practical powder handling technology".

SS-6	Utilization of New Technologies and Training of Human Resources to Improve On-site Capabilities with a View to the Future Society

Mar. 15 (Fri) 10:35-15:40 Hall B (Program)

In "manufacturing sites" responsible for chemical engineering, it is an urgent matter to train personnel who acquire practical knowledge that can solve problems at the worksite. From the viewpoint of plant operation, factory equipment design, facility maintenance, safety assurance and conservation activities, grasping the chemical process and facilities as a whole, focusing on new technologies, and training engineers and managers who will lead to improvement It is an urgent task. Also, "utilization of experience knowledge" and "transfer of technology and knowledge" by skilled technicians are also issues. In this session, we will introduce countermeasures and achievements at each company, which are hints for solving these issues.

SS-7	Networking Event for Employment between Japanese Companies & International Students

Mar. 14 (Thu) 9:00-12:30 Halls K,L (Program)

Currently, under the guidance of the state, each university actively accepts international students. Numerous foreign students are also in faculties and departments in the field of chemical engineering. On the other hand, there are the following issues regarding utilization of this talented person in domestic enterprises.
As a problem for overseas students who wish to get a job at a Japanese company, information on Japanese companies in Japan and information on job hunting activities are hardly or very little. As a problem on the university side, support is not sufficient for Japanese companies getting employed. The company side also wants to hire overseas students, but they are suffering with approaches and communication to them.

Poster session (SP-8, SP-9)

SP-8	Unit Operation Which Should Not be Forgotten - (Practical Powder Handling Technology) -

Mar. 15 (Fri) 16:00-17:30 Hall R (Program)
