Chemistry and Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering Basic Chemical Engineering Nature of Industrial Process There are two categories for industrial (chemical) processes. Batch or cycle processes Ongoing procedure or continuous process  Batch or cycle processes Batch processing is the method in which raw materials are continuously supplied into the machinery. This method involves loading raw materials and drawing manufacturing step by step. When a minimal amount of a product is required, this procedure is used. This method is more adaptable than a continuous one. In batch processes, capital investment is minimal. Greater operating costs result from the necessity for more staff due to the manual handling of the material. Not automated Product quality varies from batch to batch.  Examples  Batch production is most frequently used in bakeries, the production of athletic footwear, pharmaceutical chemicals, soap, water purification, inks, paints, and adhesives. Both positive and negative aspects Batch produc...

Basic Chemical Engineering   What is Engineering? Engineering is a career that involves the use of mathematics and the natural sciences to the best possible conversion of resources for the benefit of humans. OR, engineering is the practical application of scientific knowledge based on the natural and mathematics sciences. What is Chemical Engineering? Chemical engineering is the art of using engineering principles, physical and chemical laws, and available raw materials to make desired products in the most efficient ways possible to get the best outcomes. Or, it might be the area of engineering that deals with the planning and building of chemical plants that use chemical reactions to produce valuable goods or solve real-world issues. What Chemical Engineer Do?  Some chemical engineers develop innovative designs and procedures. Some people build equipment and infrastructure. Some people design and manage facilities. Atomic science, polymers, paper, colours, pharmaceuticals, pl...

Chemical Engineering Basic Chemical Engineering   Importance of Plant Location The plant's location can have a significant impact on a project's profitability and expansion potential. It's a crucial factor in a company's performance, and it necessitates in-depth examination for both new and existing businesses or plants. The location of a new company or plant is critical to its success. Because the primary goal of every business is to maximise profits, which can be accomplished by growing sales or lowering production costs. If a company is located near a potential market, it will have a better and more up-to-date understanding of the market and will be able to develop more effective production and marketing tactics to boost sales. When a company is located in an area where all types of production economies in terms of input elements are available, cost of production can be reduced. Factors influencing on plant location When choosing a plant location, much attention mu...
