内容简介:
【简介】 The Chemical and Process Engineering Centre (CPEC) first started in 1994 as the Process Analysis and Optimisation Enterprise (PAOE). In November 1998, with full financial support from the National Science and Technology Board (NSTB) and advisory support from the Economic Development Board (EDB), PAOE has been upgraded into a research centre within the National University of Singapore (NUS). Recognising CPEC's key role in spearheading R&D efforts with the industry and that the projected growth of the chemical industry would increase from a present annual output of S$31.8 billion to S$ 40 billion in the near future, CPEC has been given in-principle approval to develop into a Research Institute to better support these industries.
