Engineering Entrance , AIEEE
Petrochemical Engineering:
This branch of engineering can be defined as GEOLOGY RELATED TO OIL INDUSTRY. However in broader sense it can be said that a branch which imparts engineering details about petrochemicals which include gasoline, petroleum, ethane, naphtha, olefins and hydro carbons is called petrochemical engineering. The petrochemical products are used in all related industries like chemicals and oil & gas to name a few. It deals in the study of all the important ingredients which are the backbone of related industries mentioned above and so it is required that a separate arena of engineering should be dedicated to them.
Career Prospects:
Petrochemical engineers are constantly putting their creativity to work, synthesizing new materials, transforming combinations of elements of matter and developing the processes to do it all safely, efficiently and on a large scale. Petrochemical engineers will often specialize in a particular area once they become established, including biochemistry, the environment or petrochemical refining. Nevertheless, they all perform the same general duties as engineers. They extract existing data and design methods to design products, petroleum energy derivatives and operating specifications for industrial plants. They take into account cost, safety and environmental concerns when conducting research and performing experiments. Petrochemical engineers working in plants must ensure that the equipment is operating efficiently, safely, according to environmental regulations and that the desired quantity and quality of product is produced.
The main tasks that they perform are
1. Design, maintain and manage petrochemical and petroleum processing plants
2. Design and operate quality and environmental control systems
3. Troubleshoot environmental problems in industrial processing and manufacturing plants
4. Ensure efficient, safe and environmentally responsible plant operations
5. Supervise technologists, technicians and other engineers engaged in support activities
6. Choose the best instruments for measuring pressure, temperature, flow rate and composition
