The Société Française de Génie des Procédés (French Society of Process Engineers) or SFGP is a French organization for chemical engineers. It is a member of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering and acts as joint Secretariat, ^[1] and of la Fédération Française pour les sciences de la Chimie (FFC). It publishes a technical journal "Récents progrès en Génie des Procédés", and news for members "Procédique" (first published April 1988), ^[2] and organizes a congress every alternate year. ^[3] As of 2014 its membership is in excess of 600. ^[4]

Its history dates back to a congress in 1987, 1er Congrès Français de Génie des Procédés, and the formation the following year of a Groupe Français de Génie des Procédés (GFGP), which in 1989 had 340 members. ^[2] and formally transformed into the present organization in 1997. ^{[2] [5]}

Its mission statement ^[6] is to:

• promote Process Engineering.
• promote exchanges between academics, trainers and researchers, manufacturers developing and operating processes, engineering companies and suppliers at the national, European and global levels.
• build a network of experts to respond to societal challenges and the innovation needs of Process Industries.
• be a force for representations to political and institutional decision-makers.
