Dr John Carson Awarded IMechE Solids Handling Award 2005
In recognition for his contribution to bulk solids handling technology, Dr John Carson, President of Jenike & Johanson, Inc, the international solids handling consulting engineering firm, is the recipient of this year’s Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) Solids Handling Award.
Sponsored by solids handling equipment specialist Ajax Equipment, the award was presented to Dr Carson at the recent 7th World Congress of Chemical Engineering hosted in Glasgow by the Institution of Chemical Engineers. This award was made in recognition of Dr Carson’s many contributions to solids handling technology, membership of various technical and standards committees and his extensive work in technical education in the subject.
In presenting the award, Lyn Bates, managing director, Ajax Equipment, paid tribute to Dr Carson’s contribution to solids handling. “Bulk solids technology is a complex subject where the factors involved in processing particulate solids from a pharmaceutical pill to a million tonne stockpile call for professional specialists of a high order capable of blending science with experience and innovation. Dr John Carson has all these qualities”, he said. “His technical contributions in this field have been matched by a lifelong commitment to educating engineers in the complexities of solids handling.”
Dr John Carson has over 35 years experience of working in the solids handling industry, specialising in bin loads – loads applied to storage vessels, particle segregation and fine powder processing. As President of Jenike & Johanson for the past 20 years he has overseen the company’s growth from one to four offices across North America and Chile.
Dr Carson thanked the Institution of Mechanical Engineers for the award. “I am delighted to receive this award. Much has changed since I began working in the bulk solids industry. Yet there is a greater need than ever for specialists in bulk handling where academic knowledge is no substitute for practical experience. Advances in chemical and materials engineering in the process industries have led to increasing use of materials with highly unusually flow characteristics and exceptionally low bulk density, making knowledge of powder flow as relevant today as when I first entered the profession.”
Previous recipients of the Solids Handling Award have included: -
Dr. Andrew Jenike,
Dr. Jerry Johanson,
Dr. John Williams,
Prof. Alan Roberts,
Dr Stan Mason,
Dr. Harold Wright,
Herbert Wilkinson,
Abraham Goldberg,
Lyn Bates
Dr. and Mrs Wöhlbier
and other distinguished workers in the field
