Engineering is deservedly considered one of the most promising modern areas. The development of technologies is proceeding at a huge pace, and at any stage of this process, qualified, experienced, competent engineers are needed - including engineering chemists.
This interesting specialty at the junction of two sciences suggests:
- Study, development and implementation of the best process for the production of chemicals (from high-tech chemicals and formulations to fertilizers, organic and inorganic)
- Planning of stages and methods of production with maximum efficiency and minimum costs
- Development of production methods that are safe for people and the environment
- Quality control of initial compositions and final products
- Control of each stage of production, modernization and improvement of indicators
- Development of technological maps, production processes up to the purchase and quality control of raw materials
- Quality control of the equipment used
- Improving the efficiency of chemical processes, etc.
Chemical engineers, chemical technologists often find themselves in the oil and gas industry, geodesy, applied geology and mining, agriculture and pharmaceuticals. The scope of their knowledge is huge: the top 100 best universities in the world in engineering chemistry will help you decide on the right way to get this popular profession.
