WHAT IS CHEMICAL ENGINEERING????

                                             ....Is the broadest branch of Engineering

Hearing the word Chemical first comes to your mind are the various chemicals, chemical reactions or titrations that you perform in labouratory or chemical industries. Some people think OVER that’s it, it is chemical Engineering, Also some people think that A Chemical Engineer has to just perform chemical reactions all his life long and nothing else to do. IT’s totally a misconception, You just cant think How broad the CHEMICAL ENGINEERING branch is ? Let us understand what actually it is :

It is the branch of Engineering concerned with the design, construction, and operation of machines and plants that perform Chemical Reactions to solve practical problems or make useful products. 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.

Moreover Chemical Engineering is broader in scope than the other branches of Engineering because it draws on the three main Engineering foundations together :- Maths, Physics & Chemistry - whereas the other branches are based on only the first two.

Also Chemical Engineering plays a very important role in our everyday life. Since the beginning of this branch of Science, it has been in the service of mankind. Our daily food, clothing, shelter, portable water, detergents, cosmetics, fertilizers, pesticides, paper, glass, paints etc., are one or other way connected to Chemical compounds. In fact " CHEMICAL ENGINEERING " is the only branch of Science which profoundly influences, the existence of human beings ". Everyday thousands of Chemical Engineers help solve lot of today's most difficult problems by developing new sources of energy, reducing energy consumptions, producing new materials, reducing emissions thereby cleaning up the environment, producing new drugs, producing new fertilizers to increase world food supplies and finding ways to use recycled waste. As a whole Chemical Engineering is a core and a oldest branch of all times. There is no end to Chemical Engineering branch and Chemical Engineers, as without Chemicals life on earth is impossible.
