WHAT IS CHEMICAL ENGINEERING?
Chemical engineering is all about changing raw materials into useful products we use everyday on
an industrial scale in a safe and cost effective way.

Chemical engineers are concerned with PROCESSES and PRODUCTS.

Processes: Process Design:

✓ Making chemicals and pharmaceuticals ✓ Inventing a new process


✓ Processing polymers and foodstuffs ✓ Designing the equipment for a process
✓ Energy generation ✓ Operating a process
✓ Wastewater treatment ✓ Improving a process
✓ Environmental clean-up

Products: Product Design:

✓ Chemicals - petrol, ammonia, methanol ✓ Choosing a product for an application


✓ Polymers - polythene, PVC, synthetic fibres ✓ Designing the product
✓ Consumer products - shampoo ✓ Improving the product
✓ Foodstuffs - ice cream, chocolate, beer
✓ Pharmaceuticals - paracetamol, penicillin 3

CHEMICAL ENGINEERS THAT SHAPED OUR WORLD

7
GEORGE E DAVIS
▪ ‘Founding Father’ of Chemical Engineering.

▪ Coined the term ‘Chemical Engineering’.

▪ Delivered first chemical engineering course at the

University of Manchester in 1887 in the form of 12


lectures covering various aspects of industrial
chemical practice.

8
CARL BOSCH
▪ Haber-Bosch process (ammonia synthesis) was developed by

industrial chemist Fritz Haber, and scaled up by chemical engineer


Carl Bosch.

▪ This work made it possible to produce synthetic fertilizers and thus

produce enough food for the Earth’s growing population. Without


it, we would only be able to produce two-thirds the amount of food
we do today.

▪ Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1931 "in recognition of their contributions

to the invention and development of chemical high pressure


methods" 9
MARGARET HUTCHINSON ROUSSEAU
▪ First women to receive a chemical engineering doctorate

from MIT.

▪ Margaret developed the process of deep-tank


fermentation which enabled large-scale production of
penicillin.

▪ Mass production of penicillin was a key moment in

history; not only for the billions of lives it saved (and still
saves today) but for the chemical engineering involved.

10
JOHN H. PERRY
▪ Perry’s is the go to handbook for chemical engineers. Edited its first

edition – published in 1934.

▪ John went on to edit two more editions of Perry’s, until his son,

Robert H. Perry, took over the family tradition for the fourth edition
in 1963, until his death.

▪ John was a physical chemist and chemical engineer and was known

for his development of improved catalysts for sulfuric acid


production.

▪ However, it is his book that truly shaped the world and has been

the key source of knowledge for chemical engineers for over 70


years.
11
JACK WELCH
▪ Masters and PhD in chemical engineering from

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

▪ Chairman and CEO of General Electric between

1981 and 2001.

▪ During his tenure at GE, the company's value

rose 4,000%.

12
ANDREW GROVE
▪ Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of
California, Berkeley in 1963.
▪ After completing his Ph.D., worked for Fairchild
Semiconductor, hired by and working under Gordon
Moore.
▪ When Moore and Noyce left Fairchild to start Intel,
Grove was Intel's third employee, the first person to
be hired by company founders Gordon Moore and
Robert Noyce.
▪ President: 1979 - 1997 and CEO: 1987 - 1998.
▪ Chairman of the board of Intel Corporation from
1997 to 2005.
▪ "Man of the Year (1997)", for being "the person
most responsible for the amazing growth in the
power and the innovative potential of microchips."
