Chemical Engineering

OVERVIEW

Chemical engineers have advanced many areas of our lives. That is a reflection of the scope of their work. The scope ranges from manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, design and construction, pulp and paper, petrochemicals, food processing, specialty chemicals, microelectronics, electronic and advanced materials, polymers, business services, biotechnology, and environmental health and safety industries.

SPECIALISATION

Chemical Reaction Engineering

Chemical reaction engineering deals with the analysis on data and the design of equipment in which reactions occur.

Plant Design

Plant design focuses on areas such as piping, rotating machinery, pipe stress analysis, static equipment, electrical engineering or instrumentation.

Process Engineering

Process engineering focuses on the design, operation, control, optimization and intensification of chemical, physical, and biological processes.

Transport Phenomena

Transport Phenomena deals with the movement of different physical quantities in any chemical or mechanical process and describes the basic principles and laws of transport.

Food Processing

Food Processing focuses on methods and techniques used to transform raw ingredients into food for human consumption.

Wastewater Management

Wastewater management focuses on factors around the assurance of a safe and adequate water supply and the pro the protection of the aquatic environment.

Energy Process Engineering

Energy process engineering focus on thermal energy technologies and systems, advanced aspects of energy system modelling, heat and mass transfer.
