Introduction:
Chemical Engineering is a multifaceted field incorporating principles from physics, chemistry, applied mathematics, and economics to process, produce, transport, and properly manage chemicals, materials, and energy. A critical component of chemical engineering is plant design, which emphasizes the creation of a functional and safe facility that effectively delivers the intended products or services.
Chemical engineers harness their knowledge and expertise to transform raw materials into valuable products such as pharmaceuticals, fuels, chemicals, and plastics, not only through manufacturing but also by conducting and designing innovative experimental research to improve production methods, mitigate environmental impacts, and conserve resources.
