STRU-CHENG v.1 Chemical Engineering Stream (BEng Hons)
Introduction
Chemical Engineering covers the development, design and operation of chemical processes and plants for the extraction, conversion and recovery of materials that is based on both chemical and biological systems. A great variety of process industries serve the needs of society. Among the more familiar are petroleum refining, gas processing, petrochemical and polymer production, bio processing and bio production, biopharmaceutics and food processing, fertilizer manufacture, cement and lime production, minerals and metal extraction and refining, paper and board manufacture, biomass and sugar refining, production of industrial and fine chemicals.
