From "CSIRO research fro Australia" (1962) pdf page 60:
"The Chemical Engineering Section is concerned among other things with the development of chemical processes for industrial use. A typical project is the production of gas of high calorific value by combining hydrogen with brown coal. Another group in the Section studies the basic physical and chemical reactions which are fundamental to the developmental projects. Yet another activity of the Section is a study of the separate operations that go to make up chemical engineering processes. Common to many industrial processes, for example, are such operations as grinding and the separation of fine particles according to their size.

The Section also maintains a Process Equipment Laboratory with a wide range of pilot plant which is available for use by government organizations and private industry. The Section has a specialist knowledge of many facets of Chemical Engineering and is frequently consulted by other C.S.I.R.0. laboratories and by outside organizations."
