Industries
A variety of industries employ chemical engineers, representing a diverse
range of products, employers, and services.
Chemical Process Industries
The focus of companies in this industry is on the development, extraction,
isolation, combination, and use of chemicals and chemical by-products.
Chemical engineers design and operate processes and systems to combine,
transport, separate, handle, recycle, and store them. This industry consists
of several specialty areas:
Agricultural Chemicals
Catalysts
Specialty Chemicals
Industrial Gases
Paints, Varnishes, Lacquers, Pigments, and Inks
Petrochemicals
Petroleum Products
Plastics, Synthetic Resins, and Composites
Polymers
Pulp and Paper
Rubber and Rubber Products
Soaps, Detergents, Perfumes, Fats, Oils, and Cosmetics
Synthetic Fibers, Textiles, and Films
Additional Resources:

American Oil Chemists' Society
Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry
American Institute of Chemists
Biotechnology
This area uses living cells, materials produced by cells, and biological
techniques developed through research to create products for use in other
industries. This field has produced antibiotics, insulin, interferon,
artificial organs, recombinant DNA, techniques for waste reduction and
recycling, and hybrid plants that are insect resistant. Chemical engineers
develop and design the processes to grow, handle, and harvest living
organisms and their by-products. Additional Resources:
American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists
American Pharmacists Association
Design and Construction
This field works with other industry sectors to design and build facilities,
specify machinery, and design and troubleshoot processes that allow
companies to operate safe and efficient plants. Chemical engineers are
involved with process design and project management and work closely with
other engineering disciplines. Additional Resources:
• American Council of Engineering Companies
Electronics
Chemical engineers in the electronics industry are involved with material
development and production, process control equipment design, and the
manufacturing of microchips and intricate circuitry. Chemical engineers have
contributed to the industry by producing components that better dissipate
heat and operate faster. Additional Resources:
Women in Technology International
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
The Electrochemical Society
Environmental Safety & Health
Every process involving use and manipulation of raw materials produces some
by-products. Chemical engineers minimize the production of by-products (or
find an appropriate use for them) through process monitoring and control, as
well as by designing more efficient processes. Chemical engineers are
involved in waste treatment and disposal and process safety and loss
prevention. Additional Resources:

Water Environment Federation
National Groundwater Association
Food and Beverages
This industry includes the handling, processing, preparing, packaging, and
preserving of food and beverages. Chemical engineers formulate new products
to meet consumer demand, change ingredients to improve flavor, adapt
handling processes to ensure more consistent texture, and freeze-dry
products or design aseptic packaging to enable a longer shelf life.

American Association of Cereal Chemists
Fuels
This industry comprises petroleum and petroleum products production and
refining, as well as nuclear and synthetic fuels. Typically known for their
work in refineries, chemical engineers are also involved in developing
alternative energy sources, working on production processes, environmental
monitoring, research and development, and process safety. Additional

Advanced Materials
Several industries (most notably aerospace, automotive, glass, ceramics,
electronics, refractories, metals, metallurgical products, minerals
processing, and photographic products) employ chemical engineers to help
develop materials. Chemical engineers manipulate the weight, strength, heat
transfer, reflectivity, and purity of substances to produce materials with
unique properties. Additional Resources:
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
Materials Research Society
The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society
Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration, Inc.
Other
The technical training received by chemical engineers makes them well suited
for positions in business, finance, insurance, law, publishing, education,
and government. Chemical engineers manage, analyze, and insure businesses in
the chemical process industries. U.S. government employers include the
Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, the U.S. Navy,
NASA, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Department of Agriculture. |
