Dow Corning's solar joint venture firm Hemlock Semiconductor donated $2 million to purchase lab equipment for a new Chemical Engineering Technology building at Austin Peay State University (APSU) in Clarksville, TN.The money will be utilized to design, engineer and purchase the equipment for the “hands-on” lab stations where students will have the opportunity to run several chemical processes such as distillation, pump and tank operations, filtration and instrumentation.
I know for a fact how important these hands-on lab processing equipments remembering my school's wonderful (although a little outdated at that time) pilot processing lab.
The new laboratory will probably churn out eager Chemical Engineers just in time for Hemlock's planned polysilicon manufacturing facility in Clarksville, which will start in late 2012.
