Chemical engineers must be versatile, practical problem solvers who are uniquely positioned with knowledge of chemistry, math, and engineering to define systems by mass and energy balances. This skillset enables ChEs to take on the role of bridging gaps between science and production to address...
Dr. Claus Witte, Senior Process Safety Manager outlined how BASF achieved consistency, efficiency and transparency across their organization wide risk assessment processes.
Reaching a high degree of maturity in operational excellence takes a lot of effort. Getting there and sustaining that level of performance year over year requires far more dedicated attention, robust...
Cell free systems are useful in determining the chemical reactions that will occur within cells apart from the actual system. The method is also useful for cell free synthetic pathway biotransformation systems due to the high product yields.
Chemical engineers know that adjustments to the process parameters in any chemical reaction can often result in improved conversion, yields, or product purity. When is the improvement enough to qualify for a patent?
The development of novel cosmetics and personal care products requires knowledge from several scientific disciplines, such as material science for rheological properties and medicinal science for the enhanced drug delivery of active ingredients present in certain cosmetics.
