NWGD members are invited for the next NWGD excursion at Ketjen in Amsterdam on Thursday 9 November.

Ketjen (a daughter company of Albemarle) has been a major supplier of catalysts to the petrochemical industry for decades. The production of these catalysts consists of many treatments of inorganic components. An important part of these processes involves heat treatments. During this afternoon, several Ketjen employees will lead visitors past the relevant installations and then go deeper into one of the drying techniques. Afterwards, there will be room for drinks in the hospitality venue located next to the site for after-dinner discussions.

The event will take place on Thursday 9 November
We have a maximum capacity of 40 attendees.
So be quick to register!
