What Chemical Engineers are Involved In
Some chemical engineers make designs and invent new process, construct instruments and facilities or plan and operate facilities.
They have also helped develop atomic science, polymers, paper, dyes, plastics, fertilisers, drugs, petrochemicals, food and lots more.
There are three physical laws that chemical engineers use to their advantage; these are the conservation of mass, momentum and energy.
Chemical engineers are highly active in the following industries:
• Plastics
• Fuels
• Petrochemicals
• Agrochemical (fertilizers etc)
• Elastomers
• Explosives
• Detergents (Cleaning chemicals)
• Fragrances
• Food Processing
• Wood processing
• Environmental Technology
• Industrial Chemical (paints, inks, adhesives etc)
• Mining Industry
• Metal and Material works
• Water processing
