What do Chemical Engineers do ??


What do Chemical Engineers do ?? 

               ....takes Chemistry out of the Labouratory into the world

Chemical Engineers basically design or develop low cost processes for producing various products which make it possible for both poor as well as rich nations to manufacture a particular product at low capital Investments. And we all know that as the process or product making cost reduces more and more profits are generated by the industry. 

Their main aim is to design plants & processes to maximize productivity and minimise costs, and to evaluate plant operations for performance and product quality. Once the process and equipments are designed, Chemical engineers remain on hand at a production facility to solve  problems that occur as the processes continue.

They work on the principles that reduce the use of plastics, reduce the pollution, develop processes that uses the waste generated to produce something useful and help to develop environmental friendly processes and products . Chemical Engineers are the ones that take Chemistry out of Laboratory, apply it on a large scale and bring it into the world around by producing things we all use. It would take a very long time to make a list of all the products or materials that are made or designed or processed by Chemical Engineers.

Chemical engineers work in following Industrial sectors :-
1. Petrochemicals
2. Pharmaceuticals
3. Polymers
4. Design and Construction
5. Pulp and Paper
6. Food
7. Cosmetics
8. Oil and Gas
9. Mining and Minerals
10. Textile
11. Paint
AND MANY MORE....

In these Industries Chemical Engineers apply their knowledge of Physics, Mathematics, Biology and particularly CHEMISTRY to solve any technical problems.
