The American Society of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) is a technical society devoted to chemical engineering and associated technologies and issues. Many chemical engineers work in the chemical process industry. In 1985, AIChE established the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS). It was an industry response to the Bhopal, India, disaster (Case 24-1). It has become the center of expertise for process safety. It publishes many publications on process safety, and conducts conferences and training to advance process safety practices. 

Ernest LeSueur was a founding member of the American Society of Chemical Engineers (1908) and of the Canadian Institute of Chemistry (1920). He received the Canada Medal of the Canadian Section, Society of Chemical Industry, and that society established a medal in his honor. 

Pressure Vessels and Piping. Some of the most critical components of a chemical plant involve pressure vessels. A thorough knowledge of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Pressure Vessel Code (75) is essential for design and maintenance of chemical plants. Some states have their own codes, which usually conform closely to the ASME version (see High pressure technology Tanks and pressure vessels).
