Huntsman Pigments won the top prize at last night’s IChemE 2011 Awards ceremony in recognition of its revamped site in Calais, France. More than 400 guests from all over the world were in Birmingham, UK for the event celebrating a mix of industry and academic innovation.
Huntsman was awarded the Outstanding achievement in chemical and process engineering award (sponsored by BP) after turning a site threatened with closure into a thriving new revenue stream.
In 2008, the future of Huntsman’s Calais site looked gloomy, being difficult and expensive to run. But, by turning waste filter salts into sustainable fertilizers and securing new markets, Huntsman now has plans to build a new £25m fertilizer plant on the site.
Elsewhere, Sellafield Limited and Costain Energy and Process both celebrated double success. Sellafield Limited won the Core chemical engineering award and the Health and safety award, the former a joint entry with the University of Leeds and BHR Group. Costain’s Robert Smyth and Steve Jackson lifted the Young chemical engineer award and Innovator of the year award respectively.
The event, hosted by BBC television personality Hugh Dennis, also saw three UK universities clinch prizes.
