Introduction to chemical
Engineering
Chemical engineering is a certain type of engineering which
deals with the study of operation and design of chemical plants
as well as methods of improving production. Chemical
engineers develop economical commercial processes to convert
raw material into useful products.

Chemical engineering uses principles of chemistry, physics,


mathematics, biology, and economics to efficiently use,
produce, design, transport and transform energy and materials.

The work of chemical engineers can range from the utilization of


nanotechnology and nanomaterials in the laboratory to large-
scale industrial processes that convert chemicals, raw materials,
living cells, microorganisms, and energy into useful forms and
products.
Chemical engineers are involved in many aspects of plant design
and operation, including safety and hazard assessments,
process design and analysis, modeling, control engineering,
chemical reaction engineering, nuclear engineering,
biological engineering, construction specification, and operating
instructions.
