From 15 to 19 June 2015 the doors will open on Achema 2015. As in 2012, the organisers anticipate around 3,800 exhibitors. A clear trend is already emerging: besides the three focal themes BiobasedWorld, Innovative Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and Industrial Water Management, the hot topics of the world forum of the process industry are energy efficiency, materials and materials testing, and safety technology. The number of papers submitted for the congress in these areas is gratifyingly high. In terms of exhibition groups, first and foremost there has been the traditionally keen interest in instrumentation, control and automation techniques, mechanical processes, laboratory and analytical techniques, to meet the unprecedented demand, additional space has already had to be mobilised for pharmaceutical, packaging and storage techniques. Thus, Achema reflects the overall trends in its core sectors like machinery and plant engineering and the chemical industry which, despite a turbulent international business environment, are proving to be surprisingly resilient. To promote the exchange of views between users and suppliers, the organisers have devised a range of new formats: the Achema Praxisforums, addressing topics such as single-use technologies, pharmaceutical production, components and equipment, mixing and separation, safety and plant control. New developments from practice will be introduced in mini-presentations in the direct vicinity of the exhibition halls concerned.
