School of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Sciences, University of Manchester

The School of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Sciences (CEAS) University of Manchester was formed by the merger in 2004 of the former UMIST departments of Chemical Engineering, and DIAS - the Department of Instrumentation and Analytical Sciences - and the Centre for Process Integration. The school inherits a longstanding association of Chemical Engineering and UMIST, indeed the discipline was founded by a series of lectures given there by George E. Davis in 1888. However the Department of Chemical Engineering at UMIST was formed as a separate entity in 1956 with the appointment for Frank Morton as head of department. The School has a large scale pilot plant in a separate building. The building and equipment was extensively refurbished in 2003 and reopened as the Morton Laboratory [http://www.ceas.manchester.ac.uk/research/centres/molecularmaterialscentre/news/] .
