FUTURE CHEMICAL ENGG
Major Areas for Chemical:
EnergySafety & Environment PollutionFood & AgricultureWater managementBiochemical EnggProduct & Plant design
1. ENERGY:
NUCLEAR: Will continue to satisfy a great portion of energy demand Chemical Engineers will work on:
Advanced reactor design Spent fuel processing Waste processing & enrichment
BIOFUELS:
Gasification & Fischer Tropsch process will gain prominence
But will contribute to only small portion of energy demand
FOSSILS:
Chemical Engineers will: Explore new technologies for extraction of mid sea oil Clean technologies with carbon capture & storage. Efficient methods for electricity generation and usage.
Hydrogen & Fuel Cells: These are future energy carriers Will contribute to medium term heat & power generation
2.POLLUTION & SAFETY:
GOVT Policies will force firms for zero pollution & waste.
Chemical Engineers will work on: Development of new safe & automatic equipments & processes. Scale up of Ultra high pressure, pulsed light, process control like:
HAZOP, HAZAN, HACCP Reduction & recycling of wastes. Conversion of wastes to energy Wastewater treatment by economic technologies and reuse of water.
3. WATER, FOOD & AGRICULTURE:
Chemical Engineers will work on: Make agriculture less energy & fertilizer dependent. In Modern day
Agriculture we spend 10cal for every 1cal food. Technologies like organic farming, genetically modified crops will rule. Totally new agro processes which are energy efficient will be introduced. Nanotechnology will play great role in food ingredients. Variety of water purification technologies like : Membranes, Reverse
osmosis, enzyme-catalytic reactions to destroy microbes.
4. BIOTECHNOLOGY
Major areas of development: Predictive modeling of biosystems. Manufacture cost effective therapies by using Bio-catalysis, Bio-
informatics etc. Genetic Engineering
5. PRODUCT & PROCESS DESIGN
Concepts of green product design, sustainable product design will gain prominence.
Hence products & processes will be eco-friendly. Concepts of Process intensification, miniaturized plants, industrial
ecology, local production will be prominent. Hence total methodology of design will metamorphose
