Welcome to Chemical Engineering

Chemical or Process engineering involves finding the best sequence of physical, chemical and biological processing steps, and the right operating conditions, to convert raw materials into higher value products safely, economically and on a large scale. Gas processing, oil refining, minerals processing and metals production are among the most commonly recognised applications of chemical engineering, but the discipline encompasses a diversity of products that serve the needs of society. These include LNG, LPG, petrochemicals and polymers, fertilisers and agrichemicals, cement and lime, industrial and fine chemicals, paper and board, consumer products, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology products, food and beverages, power and clean water.
