PIPING UP
"It's by far the most complex
control system we've worked
with - we've never automated
Phospaq like this before. It's
been a learning process. "
Simon Kuitert, Process Engineer, Paques .
(P14)
Dr Paul Linford,
Chief Technical
Officer, Syrinix
(P11)
"I think we
still have a
problem in
the UK in that
engineering as
a profession
does not have
the kind of
status it really
should have in
society."
