How do they match: Chemical Engineers

  • Design measurement and control systems for chemical plants based on data collected in laboratory experiments and in pilot plant operations.
  • Determine most effective arrangement of operations such as mixing, crushing, heat transfer, distillation, and drying.
  • Develop safety procedures to be employed by workers operating equipment or working in close proximity to ongoing chemical reactions.
  • Direct activities of workers who operate or are engaged in constructing and improving absorption, evaporation, or electromagnetic equipment.
  • Perform laboratory studies of steps in manufacture of new products and test proposed processes in small-scale operation, such as a pilot plant.

  • Determine operational methods.
  • Determine causes of operational problems or failures.
  • Estimate operational costs.
  • Monitor the productivity or efficiency of industrial operations.
  • Prepare operational reports.
  • Research industrial processes or operations.
