About The Department
Profile
Petro chemical Technology is a specialized branch of chemical engineering which deals with operation of refining and petro chemical engineering. The term petro chemical refers to the organic chemicals which are obtained directly or indirectly from crude petroleum. It is the downstream sector of petroleum consist activities such as the refining, marketing and distribution of petroleum products. Refining process is crucial for an oil product such as then only it can be used.
Petro chemical engineers mainly have needs in refining, petrochemical plants as well as downstream petroleum industries and R & D organizations.
The core subjects of petrochemical technology are reaction engineering, heat transfer, mass transfer, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics & Transport phenomena etc.
The petro chemical engineer can work as petroleum geologists, reservoir engineers, production engineers, drilling engineer among several other profiles.
The major Indian companies in this sector are, Reliance industries limited, gas authority of India limited, Indian petro chemical corporation limited, Geo Enpro Petroleum Ltd, Geometric Ltd, Indo rama Synthetics Limited, shell Technology limited, Grasim industries limited and Essor oil etc.
In the present scenario the scope of petrochemical industry is very good as the government regulations are aligned with the industry and is playing an important part. The regulations have opened the market which is full of scope for the rapid growth of the industry and in turn, the growth of the economy.
