Abstract

Regional symposium on Chemical Engil.1eeringwas first held in 1994 in Manila, Philippines. Since then, the symposium has developed quite significantly in terms of publishing papers in the said field. However, any development stagnates if scholars do not make effortsto further improve the present system. This paper analyzes such underlying problems in the academic community of different regions. Based on these problems, the ad hoc preparatory committee hence sees the need to propose the foundation of a Chemical Engineering Journal.

Abstract

This paper describes the current status of the petrochemical industry in Malaysia. The industry is broadly categorized into various sector that include the agrochemical and agroprocessing, basic chemicals, industrial gases, oleochemical, petrochemical, surface coatings, and the fine chemicalssector. With regard to industrial development, Malaysia has adopted the Manufacturing strategy and clustering concept for the manufacturing based industry. The main idea is to develop the chemical industry in the form of an industrial clusterwhere industrial symbiosis could tloulish and achieve the national objectives within the next ten years or so. The focus of the paper is, however, on the resource based processing and petrochemical industry in particular.

Abstract

In industrialized nations, natural gas is not only used as an energy source but also as a raw material for the chemical and petrochemical industries. Indonesia, one of the largest producers of natural gas, uses only less than 8% of the gas produced for its chemical and petrochemical industries. By increasing the amount of gas used as feedstock for chemical and petrochemical industries, Indonesia will generate more income for the government and provide employment. To do this, however, current Indonesian government policy on natural gas production needs to be reformed. This paper outlines an across-the-board reform policy on natural gas with the objective of optimizing the natural gas usage of the chemical and petrochemical industries.

Abstract

This paper attempts to briefly describe the development and state of the chemical industry in the Philippines by presenting related information reported by government agencies and practitioners specificallyby the Chemical Industries Association in the Philippines.The informationcan help describethe weaknesses,problems, development aspects, prospects, and strengths of the industry. Hopefully, with the current development and the new and vigorous thrust of the government and private sector, trends for the coming years will be bright for the chemical industry and the industrialization of the country as a whole.

Abstract

The economic crisisthat started in Thailand since July 2, 1997 has escalated into a contagious global recession in 1998. ASEAN including Korea were probably among the hardest hit economies under the crisis. [t was generally believed that the crisis was caused by lack of discipline among the private sector and outdated financial infrastructure in view of rapid and accelerated market liberalization. From the chemical industry viewpoint, the industry plays a critical role in propelling industrialization effort in Thailand. The industry, along with steel and cement industries,serves as the three main pillarsfor furtherdevelopments of other downstream manufacturing industries such as auto. electronics, home appliances, etc. Chemical industry in precrisis era used to enjoy a good GDP annualiz!;!d average growth rate of around 20 percent. With an aggressive growth rate for long period. the industry, along with Thai economy, face, peril in the 1997 crisis. The crisis effectively sets-back local demand by 3 years and forces the industry to reexamine its position and strategy for a more stable and sustainable growth in next millennium. The crisisrenders a costly check and balance tools for developing economies in ASEAN to strictly maintaining fine balance and harmony in all facets of developments, industrial,human, legaland moral framework, etc. From various macroeconomic indicies announced recently, Thai economy is on the path of recovery. Local demands along with the export of chemical products have improved in the firsthalf of 1999 and the tendency for the second half is rather promising.
