AIChE Separations Division

The SEP Division provides technical programs for meetings with coverage of a variety of currently used and novel methods of separation. Division members can exchange knowledge of technical publications, computer programs, databases, separation research centers, networks and programs. SEP keeps members informed of future separations meetings and plans exchanges with other groups. In addition, the group encourages chemical engineering educators to place emphasis on the field of separations and on the development of appropriate course materials through research, development, and application. The objectives of the Division are to: 1. Provide the focal point for AIChE members with interests in separations. 2. Develop technical program for meetings. Seek balanced coverage of a variety of currently used and novel methods of separation. 3. Exchange knowledge of technical publications, computer programs, databases, separation research centers, networks, and programs. 4. Keep members informed of future separations meetings. 5. Coordinate exchanges with other groups, such as the ACS Separations Science and Technology Subdivision. 6. Recognize achievements of members through awards. 7. Encourage chemical engineering educators to place suitable emphasis on the field of separations and on the development of appropriate curricular material. 8. Foster research, development, and the application of chemical engineering knowledge to separations technologies.
