Chemical Engineering

Chemical engineers apply the principles of chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics to solve problems that involve the production or use of chemicals, fuel, drugs, food, and many other products. They design processes and equipment for large-scale manufacturing, plan and test production methods and byproducts treatment, and direct facility operations.
Chemical engineers typically do the following:
*Conduct research to develop new and improved manufacturing processes,
*Develop safety procedures for those working with dangerous chemicals,
*Develop processes for separating components of liquids and gases, or for generating electrical currents, by using controlled chemical processes,
*Design and plan the layout of equipment,
*Conduct tests and monitor the performance of processes throughout production,
*Troubleshoot problems with manufacturing processes,
*Evaluate equipment and processes to ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations,
*Estimate production costs for management, etc.

Hello,
Chemical engineering is a branch of engineering that applies physical sciences (physics and chemistry), life sciences (microbiology and biochemistry), together with applied mathematics and economics to produce, transform, transport, and properly use chemicals, materials and energy. A chemical engineer designs large-scale processes that convert chemicals, raw materials, living cells, microorganisms and energy into useful forms and products.
Chemical engineers are in demand at mineral-based industries, petrochemical plants, synthetic fiber units, petroleum refining plants, chemical industries, refineries, pharmaceutical companies, paints manufacturers, fertilizer industry, textiles sector, plastics, and explosives.
The scope of chemical engineering in India is growing as research organizations, laboratories, defense establishments, atomic power plants, and forensic investigation departments also need chemical engineering experts. Biochemical engineering, covered above, is often seen as one of the most popular sub-branches of chemical engineering but other sub-arenas that attract engineering students with alluring career prospects are nanotechnology and environmental engineering.
