Letters: Packing fires and permanganate
July, Causes and Prevention of Packing Fires, p. 34. I thought the article was very timely and informative and appreciate being a reference for your paper. However, after reviewing the information provided regarding potassium permanganate (especially Table 1), I must provide the following constructive comments. We know of one specific refinery that has been using permanganate since 1991 with excellent...

Overseas Sales Offset Weak U.S. Chemical Market
Third-quarter earnings were mixed for chemical companies listed in the CW100. Strong overseas demand in the quarter offset a weak North American market, chemical firms say. Higher oil, gas, and raw materials costs weighed on margins in the quarter, however, producers say. Dow Chemical’s net income fell 21%, to $403 million (42 cts/share), including $362 million in charges resulting from a change in...

Put the dynamics of the workforce supply chain to work for you
Most executives understand the important roles that recruiting and training play in the overall health of their company’s workforce. But fewer have a good grasp of the comprehensive nature of the workforce supply chain. In particular, many companies fail to take into account the cost incurred at each link of the chain. As a result, their personnel strategies fall short and they are unable to halt the...

Opinion on ChE Graduate Shortages Your editorial (Calling all chemical engineers, Sept., p. 5) on the subject of the lack of entrants to chemical engineering studies and careers invited readers to reply. I think that this problem will not go away until the industries desiring chemical engineers examine the source of the problem. In my opinion any high school leaver with more brains than a sausage will have...
