Boosting Efficiency and Safety for Asia’s Chemical Industries

CIA2009, Asia’s leading process engineering, controls instrumentation and scientific equipment exhibition, gathers the latest technologies and solutions that caters to industry demands to enhance product quality and expand production capacity while improving process safety and plant availability. The event boasts a 30-year track record and will return to Suntec Singapore from 1 to 4 December 2009.

CIA2009 consists of ControlsAsia2009, InstrumentAsia2009 and AnaLabAsia2009. Ongoing infrastructure developments within the energy, downstream petroleum and chemical sectors in Asia continue to be the key drivers of process technology demand on show at ControlsAsia2009 & InstrumentAsia2009. AnaLabAsia2009 brings key analytical instrumentation solutions from across the globe to the growing petrochemical, biodiesel, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries in this part of the world. Robust growth in China and other Asia Pacific areas over the last few years have contributed significantly to the US$36 billion global market for analytical instrumentation.

Global market and technology leaders will seek to gain a larger foothold in Asia by participating in CIA2009. These include international players like Daihan, Esco, FDT, Weidmuller, GE Medical, IKA, ITS, Julabo, Merck, Metrohm, Milwaukee, PG General, Profibus, Retsch, SEAT Ventilation, Tosoh and Vector Infotech.

The Singapore pavilion, spearheaded by The Singapore Manufacturers’ Federation (SMa) and supported by IE Singapore, returns with a strong presence of 35 companies this year.

New at CIA2009 is The Industrial Bus & Wireless Technology Conference. Designed by industry leaders for industry professionals from multiple levels within plant design and operations, the conference will address the challenges for industries to reduce carbon footprint and enable greater robustness, safety and dependability of plant operations.

CIA2009 will also see prominent presence and support from well-regarded regional industry associations like CHWMEG, Japan Analytical Instruments Manufactures Association (JAIMA) and Korea Scientific Instruments Industry Cooperative (KSIIC). Held alongside CIA2009 at the same venue is EnviroAsia2009, the fourth environmental technologies exhibition and conference.
