What is a CHEMICAL ENGINEER ??

What is a CHEMICAL ENGINEER ?


Chemical Engineers are the ones that Design, Construct and Operate Chemical Plants. The difference between other Engineers and Chemical Engineers is that they apply their broad knowledge of CHEMISTRY in a more advanced way in addition to other Engineering disciplines.  

Chemical Engineers develop Processes and Chemicals to make products cheaper, safer, and with increased yields. For example, If you have to set up a Biscuit Manufacturing company then who will you concern, Absolutely no doubt you have to concern a Chemical Engineer. He will first help you in locating a proper site for setting up a Chemical Plant. Once the location is finalised he will make a rough design of How the plant will look like (means where the different sections of plant should be located, where the pipeline should be laid, where the equipments should be placed, Emergency exits etc.), And as the design of plant is finalised he will start designing the actual process of manufacturing, like what are the raw materials needed, what should be the input, what are the utilities required etc. Finally he will design such a process which will be cheaper and will provide you with the best profit by yielding large outputs without polluting the environment. After this he will work in the Industry actually making it work what he has designed and will help you keep on modifying with new processes and equipments to gain larger profits. This is just a small glance of a Chemical Engineer’s work.

So now you must be thinking that Chemical Engineers work only in Chemical Industries, NO that’s not true Chemical Engineers are also comfortable working with computers, using the latest technology to help design newer and safer processes. Also the Chemical Engineers protect the environment from various hazards caused by different Chemicals. Chemical engineers are often reffered to as 'UNIVERSAL ENGINEERS' because of their vast technical and scientific knowledge.

Thus, it would be not wrong to say that Chemical Engineering is a career that is both intellectually and financially rewarding.
