Investing in UK Chemical manufacturing With increasing confidence in the UK manufacturing sector and improving signs of positive growth, will legacy technology and resource limitations be able to cope with the demands?

Sean McDonagh (Business Manager Chemical) and Steve Leech (Business Lead – Process Automation) discuss the issues facing the UK Chemical manufacturing sector.

The North West chemical sector is dominated by older brown field production sites. Many plants were designed and constructed more than 20 years ago and problems associated with legacy infrastructure and obsolete technology, are barriers to improving operational efficiency.

Two key challenges facing the Chemical industry centre around the need to invest in people and future skills, along with long term platform investment based around a lifecycle planning strategy.

Alongside the need for companies to review a plant’s current performance from a technology standpoint, the ticking time bomb of an ageing workforce is approaching. A third of the current engineering and maintenance workforce across the chemicals sector are due for retirement within the next decade. Are chemical companies planning for a near future when experienced engineers are no longer available to develop sites and maintain production?

Investment decisions need addressing, to plan to replace skilled staff or to consider alternative resourcing strategies. External organisations can help assess skills and training requirements to maintain skilled resource in your facilities. Increasingly life cycle management decisions to outsource maintenance, engineering design, spares & stock management are being seen.

Planning for the future is about attracting the engineers of tomorrow. Siemens are actively working with UK Government & the wider educational establishment to encourage young people into Engineering & Science, a career path offering motivating and rewarding options for the graduates and apprentices of today and the future.

Companies need to be analysing their graduate and apprentice intake - realising the importance of investment in schemes that will deliver the skilled workforce of tomorrow. It is certainly a priority for Siemens - taking 22 new apprentices in 2013/14 through its Industry division, headquartered in Manchester. Though the education system has a pivotal part to play, nonetheless it is incumbent on manufacturing sectors such as chemicals to seize this issue and help protect themselves from a future resourcing issue that will not disappear.

Furthermore, working in partnership with the University of Manchester, Siemens Industry is helping to address the skills issue.

This has many facets to it, including research placements for graduate engineers within Siemens and more significantly for the Chemical sector, a key partnership with the School of Chemical Engineering. This partnership ensures that students are working on the latest Process Automation platforms and forms part of being ready for working life after completion of academic studies.

Lifecycle Planning Strategies There are large amounts of legacy control systems currently within the UK plant infrastructure. The operation phase of a process plant constitutes a significant share of the overall life cycle cost over a typical 15-20 year asset of a plant control system. As such the requirement for modernisation services provides investment protection and has a significant impact on the operations of an organisation. By adopting a plant modernisation strategy such investment can be protected and the inherent risks around obsolescence, IT infrastructure and security negated.

Siemens SIMATIC PCS 7 platform offers a future proofing approach to legacy issues and operational risks. Lifecycle guarantees are built in, so that manufacturers can follow a managed approach to plant modernisation aims and objectives. Lifecycle services provide a guaranteed method of ensuring that all significant software updates and phased IT infrastructure refreshes can take place as part of the operational costs of the manufacturing plant and this approach will ensure a secure and updated system can be maintained throughout the asset lifecycle.

The approach of ‘making do and mend’ needs to be a thing of the past if the sector is to survive and remain competitive in an ever changing global landscape. Lifecycle planning strategies provide a significant opportunity to deliver the modernisation required to ensure maximum plant efficiency.

State of the art Technology platforms are essential to ensure a long term competitive business. Managing legacy platforms away from high risk reliance on obsolete equipment, bespoke applications and often skilled individuals, is increasingly at the top of plant operations roadmap.

Foreword Steve Elliott: Chief Executive of the Chemical Industries Association and Chair of Chemicals Northwest.

On behalf of the Chemical Industries Association (CIA) it gives me great pleasure to once again endorse this year’s Chemicals Northwest (CNW) Sector Directory.

The acquisition of Chemicals Northwest

by CIA continues to enhance national sectoral private sector leadership with practical, on-the-ground local support across CNW membership. However 201213 is also a year of consolidation for the network as it adjusts to life without public sector subsidy.

successful breakfast networking model in 2011, which is still being very well received by members. Participation in our topic specific ‘common interest groups’ is growing. These, along with the regular seminars and workshops have seen high levels of interest and attendance so far in 2013.

The CNW communications levels are also gaining additional momentum with our e-bulletin and the CNW newsletter received by in excess of 3000 contacts each month.

The 650 businesses and 50,000 people working within the North West chemicals sector have a crucial role to play in supporting the UK economy’s return to sustained growth. The chemical industry provides a £3 billion annual contribution to the regional economy and the region’s 27% share of UK chemical related exports means that it is easily the UK’s largest chemical exporting region.

We all are aiming for a sustainable Chemicals Northwest, through attracting more and more new businesses into membership. So far in 2013 overall membership is growing - an encouraging sign that the network is delivering value in enabling individual businesses to reach out and interact with others as well as promoting the sector in the region.

The chemical industry is a key supplier to industries such as pharmaceuticals, automotive, electronics, cleaning and personal care; we are, regionally and nationally, an industry that matters!

As CIA and CNW, we must therefore seize the opportunity in the current challenging economic climate to present our compelling message to the politicians, the regulators, the media and the general public that the UK’s economic recovery needs a vibrant and innovative chemistry-using industry.

This Directory provides an excellent reference point for all that is good about the North West chemistry-using industry and I urge you all to work with us to help maximise your own business opportunities and strengthen the collective fortunes of our great industry.

With our new team at the Heath in Runcorn – headed up by John Roche (Operations Manager) and Alex Heys (Member Services and Events Manager) and supported by the CIA staff and the CNW Board – we have established a robust structure that will take CNW forward.

On the ground, I am delighted to report that the team launched a very

THE NORTH WEST CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

Broad range of expertise: Chemicals in England’s North West The Northwest’s chemicals industry is critical to many technology sectors, including electronics, renewable energy, automotive and aerospace, as well as pharmaceuticals and biotech.

One of the Northwest’s greatest strengths is the breadth of chemicals expertise and capabilities at all levels. Its skilled knowledge base, wealth of suppliers, strong international links and attractive but relatively inexpensive geographic location means big businesses are drawn to the region. The region has a rich history of scientific innovation and discovery that continues today. Building on a strong academic knowledge base, hi-tech fine and speciality chemical companies are spearheading the development of our industry. Their products support growth in established and emerging sectors, including biotechnology, nanotechnology and ICT. Materials chemistry, in particular, is a core strength of the region’s chemicals offering, from aerospace chemicals and materials through to household and personal care products. The close links between the pharmaceuticals and chemicals sectors are much in evidence in the North West. It is a premier location for global pharmaceuticals and biotechnology companies, including giants such as GSK, Eli Lilly, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Novartis, Sanofi-Aventis and AstraZeneca plus the likes of the

smaller but rapidly expanding Redx Pharma and its subsidiary companies. Several of these companies originally grew out of the chemicals sector and most still use chemical processes to manufacture their products. This has reduced in recent years with the move towards biological processing and outsourcing, but there remains a dynamic base of chemicals companies in the North West supplying services, products or materials for pharmaceutical applications at the R&D and clinical trial level, and at a larger scale for final product manufacture and distribution. These include chemical synthesis, analysis or custom manufacturing services, fine chemicals, intermediates, active pharmaceutical ingredients, pharmaceutical formulations, or delivery systems.

Printed electronics entails the printing of electrical circuits and miniscule electronic devices onto a range of flexible materials, such as paper, plastic and textiles. Manchester-based Nano ePrint, a spinout from pioneering research at the University of Manchester, is one of a number of North West players at the leading edge of this innovative technology.

single layer of thin-film semiconductor, which can be used in anything from interactive maps to smart packaging, passports to banknotes. Other North West companies at the global forefront of printed electronics technology include Victrex, Fujifilm Imaging Colorants, Innovia and Nanoco, another spin-out from the University of Manchester and the world’s leading developer and manufacturer of quantum dots.

The renewable energy sector has also undergone huge growth over the past five years, with more to come – the UK is projected to produce 32% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020.

Many renewable technologies are still far from fully developed and there are potentially massive opportunities for either new materials and chemicals innovations, or for new applications of existing chemicals technologies. In the North West, companies like M&I Materials, Victrex, Leigh’s Paints, Nanoco, AGC, INEOS and MEL are already active in renewable markets. Latest news from the industry will see the introduction of fracking and the potential of the shale gas industry.

In the automotive sector, where materials used include a wide range of polymers, composites and resins, North West companies supply chemicals such as corrosion inhibitors, engine coolants, heat transfer fluids, colorants, hydraulic fluids, fuel additives, composites and alloys. Looking to the future, the region is at the forefront of environmentally aware innovations such as improved catalysts; temperature resistant materials for exhaust treatment; more fuel efficient materials; low carbon fuel sources and biodegradable or recyclable components. The North West is also the largest aerospace region in the UK, so it’s not surprising that chemicals companies are exploiting new opportunities to supply products and services to the sector, including suppliers of engineering polymers, fibres, metals and composites.

The presence of this strong chemical industry is complemented by businesses specialising in logistics, engineering, analytical and professional services and world class universities. They provide the world class business, physical and knowledge infrastructure that one would expect of a leading chemical manufacturing region.

Responsible Care Cells Responsible Care is the international chemical industry’s commitment to continual improvement in all aspects of health, safety and environmental (HS&E) performance. Only through open communication can the industry earn the public trust and confidence to maintain its licence to operate safely, profitably and with due care for the interests of future generations.

Responsible Care Cells bring local companies together regularly to discuss environmental, process safety, occupational health & hygiene, product stewardship, emergency response, community liaison and industry reputation issues.

The aims of Responsible Care Cells are; n

To share experience, concerns and best practice on all aspects of health, safety and environmental management

n

To discuss appropriate local industry reputation and community issues (with shared action where necessary to improve the reputation of the industry at the local level)

n

To highlight local enforcement inconsistencies and to discuss them with the Health & Safety Executive and the Environment Agency

n

To provide an effective forum for guests, such as HSE and Environment Agency and local environmental organisations to engage in “off-site” dialogue on regulatory matters.

The cells meet quarterly and mix round-table discussion with presentations from guest speakers. Much of the value to companies derives from informal exchanges during and between meetings.

Chemicals Northwest host the quarterly meetings for businesses based in the Cheshire, Manchester Merseyside and Lancashire areas. If you want to find out more about the meetings or Responsible Care initiative please contact Chemicals Northwest or the Chemical Industries Association.

Common Interest Groups Chemicals Northwest’s REACH common interest group is currently restricted to members only and is proving to be very popular, with over 30 businesses signing up to the initiative and still growing as we take on more members in the 2013 membership year.

We asked the college if their design or art students would be interested in developing trophies for our annual awards event. The students studying a BA in Fine Arts accepted the challenge under the guidance of Vincent Lavell, Head of Fine Arts and Stephen Hitchen at Wirral Metropolitan College. In keeping the remit as simple as possible, we did not ask for the trophies to exactly match a specific category or theme, but to produce a modern art sculpture utilising industrial materials.

The material used in the trophies for 2013 is Jesmonite. We hope to run a follow-on piece on this in the next newsletter.

It was a great opportunity for the students to work to a commission specification and to a defined budget. Our thanks for producing a diverse set of awards go to: (see photo opposite) We wish them the every success with their studies.

We would also like to give special thanks to Solvay Interox Ltd who sponsored the award trophies

Collective awards winners

The awards featured nine categories which were designed to showcase the world-class chemical and service companies in the region and fly the flag for the industry and the talent in the UK. The winner of the Business Improvement Partner award sponsored by Chemical Industries Association was PICME. The judges said “there were many examples in the entry from PICME for this award that collectively, illustrated successes in helping their customers achieve operational success. Much of this is now embedded in the company’s “Clear Advantage” programme designed to deliver improvements through engagement of all people within the client organisation.”

“We are really pleased to have won and over-the-moon about the way the North West is massively progressing in the Chemical Industry. It is great to have third party recognition for the work we do daily for our clients” Jason Barclay, picme The Chemical Services Provider award sponsored by Kelly Services was awarded to STFC-ITAC. The judges commented that “the provision of ‘state of the art’ chemical technology and equipment, in particular to start-up companies made STFC-ITAC stand out as our choice for this award. The unique range of services is also proving to be a major attraction for investment in the UK by overseas businesses.”

Chemicals’ manufacturing process, along with more traditional techniques for improving manufacturing excellence, has led to substantial improvements in equipment effectiveness and vessel occupancy levels. So much so, that the Bromborough site now plays a greater strategic role in corporate manufacturing planning.”

“Syntor are delighted to receive the Innovation award in 2013. The awards panel recognises Innovators within the Chemicals industry, and appreciates the importance of innovation in a changing marketplace. The region has a strong identity and reputation internationally for manufacturing and innovation, and Syntor would like to further enhance the reputation of the North West Chemicals industry as we expand into new markets.

We believe UK manufacturing can compete internationally, and we are currently seeking to expand our UK capabilities. Our success and growth is attributed to our teamwork, flexibility and focus on innovation and launching new products.”

Andrew Freer, Syntor The judging panel also believed that the Bouygues UK entry to this category was also worthy of a special commendation.

“Recognition has been given to the innovative combination of several ‘state of the art’ chemical processes that should see the development of a new bio-refinery technology come to fruition.”

The International Trade award which was supported by UKTI was won by Ames Goldsmith. The judges agreed that the Ames Goldsmith approach to exporting fitted the profile of newer, smaller UK businesses that seek to go

“We are thrilled to win the International Trade Award and believe it shows that commitment of the workforce and investing in Environmental Health and Safety brings its rewards when trying to grow the business internationally.

Larry McGee, Ames Goldsmith UK Ltd The winner of the Manufacturing Business of the Year which was sponsored by Wickland Westcott went to Lucite International. The judges noted “That in improving production performance through reduced unit fixed costs, process efficiency and overall productivity, Lucite International had clearly demonstrated why they won this year’s award. Coupled with employee buy-in to a comprehensive ‘downturn plan’, such success in manufacturing operations has led to a more sustainable business.”

THE NORTH WEST CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

40 Years of Excellence K Home International (KHI) a leading independent provider of multi discipline engineering services is celebrating its fourth decade of successfully delivering engineering projects throughout the world.

In 1973, a determined Ken Home took the bold decision to establish his own business and quickly developed a loyal client base in the North East region. Forty years later the company now operating globally across a diverse range of industrial sectors has secured millions of pounds worth of fees, employed hundreds of staff and trained over fifty young apprentices during its business life.

From its offices in Teesside, the privately owned company now provides comprehensive world class engineering design solutions, from concept through to beneficial operation, for developers and operators of process and infrastructure projects.

KHI has successfully delivered capital projects up to £70m for the UK process industry on an Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) basis. Over the past eight years the company’s project services division has been strengthened and now comprises a core team providing procurement, planning and cost engineering.

The construction management team combines experience with a “hands-on” approach to getting the job built safely, within budget and on time. In addition, and

where required by the client KHI can also take on the roles of Principle Contractor and CDM Coordinator.

With clients ranging from Rio Tinto to Huntsman, spanning the UK to South Korea, and across varying sectors including chemicals, oil and gas, through mining and metals to infrastructure, the firm stands by its integration of current health, safety and environmental legislation as fundamental to its success. This success has been recognized by both clients and industry bodies alike and has been rewarded with a multitude of accolades.

Although KHI provides its service to clients around the globe it has always ensured that close relationships with its UK based clients have been maintained particularly in the Northern sector of the country. This focused attention has resulted in long term relationships being developed that are based on traditional values of honesty and openness.

As with any company KHI has had to adapt its services to the changing needs of the market place, in many cases such development has lead to clients being able to source an even wider range of services.

The North East regions process sector has and continues to provide KHI with significant support in term of project and engineering business and is proud to be associated with many of the blue chip companies that reside in the area.

Past and present clients include; ConocoPhillips, Ineos, Growhow, BASF, TATA Steel, Victrex and Air Products.

Current projects include working with Wilton based Lotte Chemical UK, providing non-core plant design services for the new 200ktpa Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plant. The project, which will more than double the current production capacity at the site, is due to commence production during quarter three 2013.

The firm has also been appointed by Huntsman Tioxide in support of the Improved Chlorinator Efficiency project, providing design and construction work for the build of new reactors at the pigments site in Hartlepool, the first of which will also be ready for commission later this year.

In recent years there has been a sustained effort to expand the geographical reach of the company within the UK and

Health and Safety Awards in 2012, winning a Gold Award in the annual scheme, which is the largest and longest-running awards programme of its kind in the UK. The company recently surpassed over 2 million man-hours in the past five years without lost time accident and in 2012 the Conoco Phillips Teesside Operation awarded KHI recognition for a recordable injury free year.

Future Focus Today, and into the future the company continues to focus on delivering its core services to UK industry and beyond. Everyone involved in the company is proud that it is a home grown local company providing flexible, cost effective, multi discipline engineering, project and construction management services.

success has been particularly noticeable in the North West region which is home to many business’s similar to those found in Teesside. During the past five years significant projects have been undertaken by KHI for many North West based clients including; Eastman Chemicals, Johnson Matthey, Indorama, GrowHow, AGC Asahi Glass and Novelis.

Going Green Developing new business streams is vital to the ongoing success and it is no surprise that KHI has become involved in the emerging low carbon industry and the projects that have arisen. KHI has applied its engineering skills to a succession of ‘green’ plants in recent years, including biodiesel, bio-ethanol plants, bio-mass and energy from waste (EfW) projects.

A good example is the recent award of contract for detailed design work of the off-plots supporting Air Products energy-from-waste plant. The 50MW advanced gasification plant, the world’s largest, will divert 350,000 metric tonnes of non-recyclable waste from landfill per annum, generating enough electricity to power 50,000 homes.

Health, Safety and Environment Ethos Central to the company’s success is KHIs commitment to safety, health and the environmental by making QSHE standards the first priority in all of its operations.

Their competence in this area is based upon successful management and full compliance to QSHE legislation over many years and confirmed by its safety record.

In joining Chemical North West it is our hope that via its events and networking opportunities the engineering design services offered by KHI will be recognised by potential clients active in the process sector and will considered as a cost effective alternative to existing suppliers of design services.

For 40 years K Home International has provided bespoke engineering design solutions to its clients nationally and internationally.

UK Trade and Investment

UK Trade and Investment The current estimates for the UK’s overall exports in 2012 are £296.9 billion for goods and £187.4 billion for services.

In March 2012 the UK Government’s budget set the target to double UK exports to £1 trillion a year by 2020.

Priority Markets

UKTI will continue to play an important role in achieving this goal by offering UK businesses a variety of services to help in their export decisions and connect them to the world’s top commercial opportunities.

Brazil, China, Colombia, Egypt, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, UAE and Vietnam.

The many support services for SMEs range from getting businesses export ready via the Passport to Export scheme to helping identify business partners overseas via the Overseas Market Introduction Service. UKTI can also help the more experienced exporters and larger companies set up a presence overseas. Not to be confused with offshoring, outward investment can help UK companies compete in global markets, increase their competitiveness and lead to growth and further investment/job creation back in the UK.

New Trade Initiatives

Throughout 2012 UKTI helped 25,400 businesses nationally, 90% of them SMEs. These trade support activities helped generate over £30 billion in additional sales, create 36,000 new jobs and secure a further 68,500.

In a move towards 2020 UKTI forecasts assisting 50,000 businesses a year by 2014/15, helping to generate additional sales of £56 billion. UKTI is also streamlining priority areas and introducing many new trade initiatives.

Currently UKTI has 220 trade advisers in 9 trade teams working locally to support businesses around the English regions. The devolved administrations have their own teams, delivering services analogous to UKTI’s.

In the North West we have over 25 International Trade Advisers (ITAs) located throughout the region. Our team possesses a wealth of export knowledge and can directly link your business into all UKTI services, funding sources and partner organisations that can offer support to companies wanting to develop and grow their export business. Our International Trade Associate, Tricia Francis, works closely with Chemicals Northwest to link the needs of the North West chemical community with regional, national and international UKTI activity.

From 2013, UKTI, working with the FCO, and using a range of criteria to prioritise focus on emerging and high-growth markets, is targeting efforts on:

UKTI is determined to ensure that British exporters get the best possible support. Here are just a few of the new trade initiatives launched in 2013.

Open to Export: provides a one-stop online resource for exporters www.opentoexport.com A new venture capital unit to help UK fast-growth, innovative technology and life sciences companies to access VC Trade Envoys: a programme designed to help promote trade in certain growth markets showcasing toUK SMEs the opportunities available in these markets.

Strengthening overseas business networks We are committed to providing best-in-class export services through the UKTI global network. To radically enhance UK business to business support in the twenty high growth and emerging markets we are harnessing British business groups and Chambers of Commerce in these countries to help them develop their networks and capabilities.

For more information about UKTI and to discuss how we can support your international trade objectives please contact Tricia Francis on 07966 560644 or tricia.francis@uktinorthwest.co.uk

Overseas we have 1,000 officers in over 100 markets overseas, who can identify business opportunities around the world. They support businesses throughout the UK.

“There are still opportunities in Europe, which is a market of half a billion people with some of the highest living standards in the world. But for the long-term health of the UK economy, we need to go where the growth is, and that is often not on our doorstep. That’s why we need to build up links with fast-growing emerging economies. And our exports need to keep pace with this growth or we will lose market share.”

CATALYST SCIENCE DISCOVERY CENTRE

n

Catalyst and industry help to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers Catalyst Science Discovery Centre in Widnes, Cheshire is an independent charitable trust and the only handson discovery centre in the country with chemistry as its central theme. Over the last twelve months, visitor figures have continued to rise to just over 27,000 with approximately half being school children on organised school visits.

success of Origins, an RSC funded project that won a £10,000 prize in the RSC IYC Chemistry Challenge, Catalyst is currently creating a collaborative learning styled project called Outbreak. A number of prominent scientists and presenters from across the North West have expressed an interest in helping to develop this project which will eventually be distributed to schools and science centres throughout the UK.

Catalyst is passionate about exciting and inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers and is working with a number of industrial sponsors and organisations to achieve this goal.

In recognition of his tremendous efforts to promote chemistry to the widest possible audience, Phill Day, Catalyst Education Manager has been honoured with the title RSC Teacher Fellow. Phill is the first Teacher Fellow to be based in a science centre and also the first to work predominantly with primary and early secondary school pupils.

A brand new ‘Energy From Waste’ workshop was designed and delivered to Catalyst visitors over the May half term holidays with support from Viridor Laing, who will operate the Runcorn Energy from Waste facility. The facility is currently in the construction phase and is due to open in January 2014. In addition to the public workshop Catalyst has developed a workshop for school pupils which will be supported by an interactive exhibition due to be installed in January.

School pupils from the Elton and Ellesmere Port area will experience a fun and educational day out at Catalyst, taking part in Science Investigation Workshops kindly sponsored by Essar at Stanlow. This rolling programme of engagement is due to start in September and will see ten classes visit Catalyst over a twelve month period. The sponsored visits will include coach transport, admission to Catalyst and two hands-on workshops.

A new interactive exhibit will be designed with funding from Victrex at Thornton Cleveleys and is due to be installed in time for National Science Week in March 2014.

This will be enjoyed not only by general visitors but also by high school pupils from the Thornton Cleveleys area when they visit Catalyst on sponsored visits, generously paid for

by Victrex. This partnership will be further strengthened with the appointment of Manufacturing Director David Yaxley to the Catalyst Board of Trustees.

Catalyst can only maintain this level of achievement with continued support from academic organisations and industry partners. For those that already support us, we thank you and for those that would like to get invoved, there are various ways in which continued achievement can be accomplished.

A Corporate Partnership Scheme has been developed which offers different levels of commitment and a wide range of benefits. All supporting companies are recognised on the Catalyst website and feature on the innovative Periodic Table of Sponsors which is situated in reception for all visitors to see.

Alternatively industry partners can support Catalyst and their local community by sponsoring school pupils to visit the centre to take part in hands-on science or work with Catalyst to help develop a workshop linked to their products or processes.

To become involved and help Catalyst inspire the future generations of scientists and engineers, please contact Meryl Jameson at meryl@catalyst.org.uk or telephone 0151 420 1121.

Plans are under way to develop a similar programme of engagement with pupils from the Northwich, Middlewich and Winsford areas sponsored by Tata Chemicals. It is hoped that this programme will commence in the new academic year.

In addition to the support from industry, Catalyst is now working more closely with the Royal Society of Chemistry. Following the

Manufacturing is growing Over the past year, we’ve narrowly avoided entering a triple dip recession and things are at last starting to look up.

Manufacturing is growing – surging to its highest levels since June 2010, according to the Office for National Statistics. The chemicals sector is playing its part in this representing around 12% of manufacturing – equivalent to 1.5% of GDP according to the Chemicals Industry Association, with turnover exceeding £57 billion.

But what does this mean for the 3,000 organisations and the 180,000 employees who make up this sector?

As recruiters for the industry, we see that the chemicals industry continues to face many issues in attracting and retaining the best talent.

If businesses and government don’t act to solve these challenges soon, then we could risk impacting the future success of this highly important UK industry.

Attracting young talent When a young person with A-Levels or a degree in science leaves school or University, they are faced with many career options as they hold highly prized STEM skills. They could embark on a career in pharmaceuticals – or perhaps one in chemicals.

Pharma is portrayed as an exciting career path, investigating the latest drug innovations and saving lives. Meanwhile chemicals arguably provides a slightly less glamorous job description – but of course, a no less important role. Added to this, is the fact that the pharmaceutical industry usually pays better than its chemicals counterpart for entry level roles – but only really in the short term. Little do these graduates and school leavers know without further research that chemicals, although not seeming to be so attractive from the start, can offer better, longer term careers options – with more variety for work, in a challenging environment. In addition, it can provide better pay in the longer term..

It seems obvious, therefore, that chemicals businesses should better promote the industry and various careers options, enabling schools to better educate school children about the different job opportunities available. Together we should work harder to attract young people to the chemicals industry – either through graduate schemes or through apprenticeship programmes.

Although this would be helpful in driving people more to the industry, unfortunately it would not provide a solution to the issue of the chemicals skills shortage in itself.

38

CHEMISTRY-USING SECTOR DIRECTORY 2013-14 2012-13

Dominic Graham Director, Kelly Services The right skills for the job More often than not, the people and the skills sets that chemicals organisations require cannot be provided by inexperienced young talent.

Around 70-80% of the time we find that we need to source and employ people for a specific job, with specific skills. Often these skills sets require a number of years’ experience. In an industry such as chemicals, where safety is paramount, it can be vital that each employee has the relevant experience required.

So where can we find people with the right skills, experience and acumen?

The right people for these skill sets do exist but unfortunately due to a variety of reasons they simply aren’t always available in the UK. Trained, skilled chemicals employees will often emigrate from the UK overseas where they can benefit from better pay and benefits compared with what is on offer here.

Meanwhile countries such as Nigeria are successfully training up the next generation of talented chemical engineers and scientists. These people often have the skills that we require in the UK; however employing them can be tricky, if not impossible, because of our strict visa restrictions.

As a solution, we need to promote the opportunities in the UK more favourably – or even look to lobby the government to relax visa restrictions in order to maintain the long term competitive nature of our chemicals industry.

Either way, something needs to be done.

GHS Compliance Deadline - June 2015

Chemical Labels

The Hardware

The chemical industry is currently going through one of the most dramatic periods of change in its history, with a range of new regulatory regimes presenting unique challenges for businesses in this sector. All parts of the supply chain, including suppliers and users of chemicals, need to prepare for the transition from the current CHIP (Chemicals Hazard Information and Packaging) system to the CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Hazardous Substances and Mixtures) regulations, which will implement the United Nations GHS (Globally Harmonized System) for classifying and labelling chemicals.

CAB XC4 and XC6 printers hold two print heads, allowing both black and colour simultaneous print, using ribbon save.

Source:The Health & Safety Executive UK website

The visual impact of CLP will be very apparent.

Current orange and black symbols will be replaced by red and black diamonds called Pictograms.

Our Knowledge

The XC-series is a perfect solution for the new classification and labelling obligations for chemicals according to GHS standards. These standards will mainly affect chemical suppliers, manufacturers and users, as well as testing laboratories.

The XC series printer will make printing the two-tone black and red precautionary symbols easy!

Process Safety Qualifications that bring Real Benefits for Business Loss of containment is the single largest business risk for companies operating within the high hazard industries.

There have been in the order of 100 loss of containment events every year for the past decade. Despite recommendations post Flixborough, Buncefield et al and regular guidance from the HSE it seems our risk control systems are still falling short of the mark. Let’s examine the reasons why.

Why do major accidents occur?

There are multiple reasons why major accidents happen, relating to plant, process, procedures and the failures of people at all levels of the organisation. Immediate causes might lie in errors by frontline staff, equipment malfunction or behaviour in an unfamiliar circumstance, but root causes are all too often found to be the dominion of senior executives, usually as a result of poor policy, lack of direction and gaps in underpinning safety procedures.

In the current climate, where society has an ever decreasing appetite for risk, we need to be constantly asking what more can be done to ensure that risks remain as low as reasonably practicable. But competition is fierce and the requirement to deliver more with less means that we are placing increased reliance on ageing plant and an ageing workforce to deliver the goods. De-layering and downsizing of departments, company reorganisations, acquisitions, divestitures and expecting staff to perform multiple roles raise risk potential if the understanding and execution of effective process safety is not fully understood across the entire organisation.

Who is ultimately responsible for plant safety?

Following the introduction of the Corporate Manslaughter & Corporate Homicide Act 2007, company directors and board members can no longer point the finger of blame at individual staff should a fatality occur relating to insufficient safety measures.

As senior management you are ultimately responsible for plant safety and as a consequence the COMAH Competent Authority requires you to demonstrate organisational competence in Process Safety Management. This means a working knowledge and clear policy on PSM, which must be led from the top and deployed throughout the organisation.

Effective PSM brings business benefits Plant safety and company profitability are actually very closely linked.

You only have to consider the effect a major accident could have on your business: forced downtime, compensation claims, fines, clean-up costs, rebuilding expenses, damage to reputation, and in the worst case scenarios, loss of human life. Since it is senior management and board directors who ultimately approve finances for the implementation of changes and initiatives to underpin safety, it makes sense that they fully understand how hazards and risks are identified, assessed and managed, to be confident of the best return.

Having the requisite knowledge allows appropriate Process Safety Performance Indicators to be instigated and monitored, giving early identification of system weaknesses. Collation and reporting can be aligned with overall business goals and as a result kneejerk compliance can be avoided, focusing instead on both a safe and efficient operation. In short, resources can be directed to those areas of the business where they are most needed to achieve key objectives and keep risk to a minimum.

Industry benchmarking highlights need for training HFL Risk Services undertook the UK chemical industry’s first ever PSM benchmarking study, supported by the CIA, HSE and NSAPI. The aim of the exercise was to highlight common issues and share experience and best practice amongst operators of hazardous installations. The auditing process was completed using our proprietary INSIGHT Lifecycle® tool, based around current US guidance (CCPS) and prepared independently of, but mapped to, COMAH guidelines.

Scores were allocated according to the POPMAR model set out in HSE’s guidance document HSG65, which allowed some examples of truly world class performance to be identified. However, the overarching theme that emerged as a result of the benchmarking process was a general lack of detail in high level policies, poor use of performance indicators to monitor and drive behaviour, and a corresponding lack of structure in management reviews.

Bespoke qualifications that meet industry needs To address the need for board level understanding and competence in process safety, experts at HFL Risk Services have developed three

Post Graduate qualifications in the understanding and leadership of Continuous Improvement in Process Safety. The qualifications are awarded by PAA\VQ-SET and regulated by Ofqual and have been designed in response to industry research. Training is provided through a series of interactive presentations, workshops and directed learning relevant to your industry. Workshops and training courses can be delivered in-house or as part of an open learning arrangement. The modular composition of the courses gives flexibility and allows delegates to study at a time and pace convenient to their working hours.

Level 7 Post Graduate Certificate in Understanding Continuous Improvement in Process Safety This qualification provides a wider understanding of process safety for board and senior management and those people undertaking process safety roles. Current theories and methodologies are examined together with their short and longer term implications for process safety. Wherever possible the training is tailored to meet the needs of your particular organisation, with focused learning for individuals provided via optional units. The Certificate comprises four mandatory units: Understand the Business case for PSM Understand Effective PSM Understand Compliant and Sustainable Process Safety Understand Leadership and Culture for PSM Delegates must also select one optional unit from the following, which best suits any gaps in their knowledge: Understand Commitment to PSM Understand a Risk-based Approach to PSM Understand the Impact of Major Accident Hazards and Risks on PSM Understand Best Practice and Deficiency Correction to Improve PSM

Level 7 Post Graduate Certificate in Leading Continuous Improvement in Process Safety A follow-up qualification to the ‘Understanding’ certificate, this builds upon the theory, skills and practicalities required to become an effective process safety leader by focusing on the demonstration, implementation and sustainability of process safety best practice.

Upon completion of the course you will have the skills, competence and confidence to implement and embed a

culture of Process Safety and Continuous Improvement within your company. Core units are: Present the Business Case for Process Safety Embed Sustainable PSM Manage and Assure PSM Leadership and Culture for PSM Again, one option from the following choices is required to complete the qualification: Embed PSM Commitment Maintain Understanding of Major Accident Hazards and Risks and their Impact on Process Safety Demonstrate a Risk-based Approach to PSM Implement Best Practice and Deficiency Correction to Improve Process Safety Efforts The successful completion of both Post Graduate Certificates not only qualifies you to effectively implement, deploy and review policies and procedures which foster a culture of continuous improvement in relation to process safety; the credits attained are also sufficient to be awarded the Post Graduate Diploma in Continuous Improvement in Process Safety.

INDEPENDENT PROCESS SAFETY SERVICES Process safety deals with the hazards associated with the storage and processing of hazardous materials that, if inappropriately handled or processed, could cause interalia fires, explosions and/or toxic chemical release. Accidents or incidents of these types have the potential for multiple fatalities and injuries both on and off-site, accompanied by major environmental damage.

A company’s reputation and commercial viability can be threatened by the combined social and economic impacts of an accident. Prevention of incidents and mitigating the effects of accidents, can only be achieved if a company has an effective process safety management (PSM) system and the culture to support it.

People at all levels, from the CEO to shopfloor workers, are essential components of any approach to process safety, and it is these human factors that have a strong influence on process safety management. The impact of people’s behaviour and communications – whether positive or negative – on the process safety management system is known as the process safety culture. In order to maintain a high standard of process safety management, it is vital that an organisation has a good process safety culture.

Chilworth, based in the UK, is part of DEKRA, one of the largest specialised process safety organisations in the world, providing independent

consulting, training and testing and offering global expertise with a local presence in explosion and process safety.

With an internationally recognised reputation in process safety, Chilworth has completed projects in a wide variety of countries around the world. Using highly qualified staff, we join with our business partners in the successful development and delivery of sustained improvement in process safety performance, emulating and leading best practice.

As an expert process safety company, Chilworth provided one of only two technical process safety experts to the Baker Panel investigating the Texas City refinery blast.

Chilworth, therefore, has both experience and expertise to provide effective process safety support through first hand knowledge of the technologies and processes involved.

Working with a number of multi-site blue chip clients in a variety of processing industries, we operate in the petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical, food, drink,

paper and packaging, plastics and rubber, agrochemical and power generation sectors. With consultants operating from locations in Europe, Asia and North America, Chilworth is ideally placed to provide a harmonised global approach to process safety for our UK and multi-national customer base.

The serious job of consolidating Dangerous Goods

For many years, Ital Logistics has become synonymous with the movement of Dangerous Goods, moreso in the last few years as fellow competitors choose to bow out of this sector for various reasons.

There are many companies who can manage the movement of Dangerous Goods as full or large part loads, but consolidating many smaller consignments of mixed classes poses difficulties that take both time and a particular expertise.

Our specialisation in this sector isn’t by chance. As early on as 2004, just four years into our foundation, it became clear to me that the lack of expert knowledge within the freight forwarding industry for this sector was self-evident. I agree this is a bold statement, but personal experiences at that time, and continually over the last decade do support this statement. To this end, I became DGSA, and have been ever since.

Some 25% of our Italian export movements last year were in scope of ADR/IMDG, and our other core markets are not that far behind it. Overall, between Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece, around 15% of all our movements, both export and import, are in scope.

A few years ago, the beginnings of our HAZculator® started to take shape. Spurred by the mandatory application of ADR 2013 in July this year, and IMDG 2012 at the end of this year, this Excel-based program has now been developed to check up to seven different UN numbers for compatibility. Additionally, it checks against foodstuffs, acid/alkali conflictions, Eurotunnel regulations, amongst other checks, and also prepares the Transport Document/DGN. As time goes on I am continually looking at enhancements, so what comes next could be even more exciting.

Used in-house only (copyright rules of the data won’t currently allow it to be thrust on the outside world), by combining all of the necessary data for each mode in one screen, this program has become

invaluable to our trailer planners when assigning shipments of different hazardous goods to the same trailer.

With the ability to search by UN number and Proper Shipping name, my team can do what they do best without wading into the depths of the IMDG and ADR books every time a booking is received.

That isn’t all we do though. Apart from our core markets of Italy, Spain, Portugal & Greece, we also provide forwarding services throughout the rest of Europe, Eastern and Western, and in March this year opened up Maritime and Air modes to our portfolio. Furthermore, we have recently become involved in the waste sector registering as Waste carrier/broker, albeit on a small scale, perhaps this may be our next specialisation.

But whatever we undertake, we aim to perform it to the very best of our abilities. Year on year, as turnover increases, we see evidence that we are ‘doing it right’. I won’t say that we don’t make mistakes. We do. But we do our damnedest to learn by them. We have built our reputation as being reliable, honest, and knowledgeable in all that we do. But we don’t know everything. We keep on learning, and adapting, to new strategies and technologies relating to our business. And every ounce of new knowledge benefits our clients. We welcome new opportunities, which is why we would like to hear from you.

Awarded a Grade 1 Outstanding by ALI (The Adult Learning Inspectorate) and a 5 Star Health and Safety record from the British Safety Council; TTE Pride themselves on delivering first class training to help bridge the skill gap within the Petroleum and Chemical industries.

One of our areas of specialism is CompEx Training (Competency in Explosive atmospheres). CompEx is the global solution for Competency Validation and Certification for both electro technical and mechanical craftsperson’s working in explosive atmospheres. EU Legislation ATEX & DSEAR now makes it mandatory for all personnel working in potentially explosive atmospheres to be adequately trained and deemed competent. DSEAR and ATEX are abbreviations for The Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR) and Explosive Atmospheres Directives 99/92/EC (ATEX 137) and 94/9/EC (ATEX 100) which are enforced by the HSE and Local Authorities, Fire brigades and Petroleum Licensing Authorities. Potentially explosive atmospheres occur in onshore and offshore petrochemical plants and refining plants. They are also found in distilleries, paint spraying plants, flourmills, woodworking machine plants, the water industry and petrol and fuel forecourt environments. Failure to ensure safe working practices in these circumstances could result in the ignition of explosive gases or even dust clouds leading to injury or even fatalities.

Since its inception CompEx has certificated over 30,000 candidates. The IEC Standards are at the heart of all CompEx delivery to ensure international conformity and harmonisation of safe working practices.

TTE provide specialist training and assessment services for engineers working in hazardous and industrial environments. We advise, assess and provide training for organisations to meet with National, International and European Standards and Directives.

We are UKAS accredited and an approved JTL CompEx Assessment Centre. We offer nationally recognised courses as directed by EEMUA to electrical and instrumentation technicians and mechanical craftspersons.

Providing cost effective solutions to industrial problems

The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology can offer clients the benefit of over 40 years of experience relating to the conveying, storage and discharge of powdered and granular materials. Industrial sectors within which we work range from pharmaceuticals to quarries – and in this respect a unique overview of the technologies and their appropriate application to processes can be drawn upon. The fact that we operate independently of equipment suppliers means that advice can be offered based a purely technical basis.

A diverse range of testing and direct consultancy services can be drawn upon to resolve issues such as unreliable powder flow, feed/dose variation, segregation, particle attrition, etc.

In some instances significant improvement can be obtained from changes in process operating parameters, however in other cases revision to

equipment may be required or replacement. In these situations the shear testing or pneumatic conveying facilities can bring certainty of reliable operation to processes and minimise risk during the procurement process.

Typical activities range from site visits to diagnose problems with material handling systems, equipment redesigns or full studies of process systems.

BAWDEN & ASSOCIATES

Patents: Any Value or Added Value

All companies, large and small, have intellectual property (IP), whether patents, trade marks, designs, copyright or confidential information. This may take many guises from an extensive patent portfolio to a simple trade name. Effective management of IP is critical to maximize its value and to reduce the risk of infringing competitor IP. However, IP activity and the associated expense without a clear plan which supports the business goals, risks the investment being wasted.

To generate value, patenting must be strategic to protect and support business goals. All too commonly, patents are viewed as a technical discipline.

“Patenting the invention” is as far as a “commercial approach” goes. We see this approach as fundamentally flawed. For example, a highly innovative company with extensive patent holdings driven by the identification of inventions by the technical function and patenting based on technical merit only may: n not identify opportunities to protect innovation which supports the business as opposed to merely a neat idea n generate patents which are technically sound but which do not protect the business from competition n patent in the wrong countries n face spiraling costs without a clear basis for a commercial return Taking a strategic approach avoids these pitfalls by generating a focused portfolio alighned with the business goals and selling points of the products, by identifying and targeting opportunities and integrating technical, commercial and legal factors at the right time and cost effectively.

Protection afforded by competitor patents presents a serious threat.

Products may need to be withdrawn, lines of research abandoned, assets

generating patent rights, understanding the routes to market and the supplier, customer and competitor activities enables the portfolio to map onto the commercial reality the client faces.

closed down or modified or licence fees paid to enable continued sale or operation. Early identification of such protection which may impact your business enables active management by commercial resolution, avoidance or modification at an early stage or appropriate legal challenge to patent validity for which timing may be critical.

Avoidance of the elephant trap rather than seeking extrication from it through active surveillance of competitor rights is invariably less costly and disruptive of business activity and, in short, smarter.

Early stage innovative companies often have a tension between investment in IP at a critical time to set solid, cornerstone foundations and other priorities for scarce funds. By developing a clear strategic focus, a patent position based on a key invention may enable early partnerships and generation of revenue streams for example through licensing and considering fields of use in

Whilst all companies seek to manage IP expenditure, the costs of patenting and timescales to secure rights may be all the more acute for start-up and spin-out companies. Through our senior, in-house experience with ICI, ExxonMobil and Unilever and extensive experience across the life science, medical device chemical and engineering fields, we offer clear business-focused attorney services with financial and budgetary management to deliver a genuinely strategic approach to create value through IP.
