Cemical Engineering Discipline

Chemical engineering is the field of applied science that employs physical, chemical, and biochemical rate processes for the betterment of humanity.

Chemical engineering began as a distinct profession at the start of the twentieth century, although elements of what are now considered to be core chemical engineering have existed for centuries and more (for example, fermentation). The discipline began as something of an amalgam, combining chemistry having an industrial focus with the mechanical design of equipment. The early triumphs, which defined the profession in the public eye, had to do with large-scale production of essential chemicals.

Chemical engineers are involved in the manufacture of bulk chemicals and speciality chemicals, pharmaceuticals, health care, food industry, pulp and paper, petrochemicals, food processing, polymers, biotechnology, and Environment, Safety and Health (ESH) industries among others

Chemical engineers play important roles today in every industry and service profession in which chemistry or biology is a factor, including semiconductors, nanotechnology, food, agriculture, environmental control, pharmaceuticals, energy, personal care products, finance, medicine – and, of course, traditional chemicals and petrochemicals.

Career Opportunities:

The career of a chemical engineer begins as process engineer who with experience in their field of work attain positions like production manager, safety manager, quality manager, project engineer, Head - Technical services, Head - Planning and Development, Head - Marketing to the level of Vice-President, and Chairman and Managing Director (CMD) of a company, who is eventually responsible in turning the economy of a country.

Chemical engineers are hired by companies as design engineers to work on the design of process equipment and plant design. They can work as project implementation executives and managers for companies involved in project execution and commissioning of new process plants. Chemical engineers are involved in sales and marketing of process equipment and pollution control devices. They are hired as safety engineers and consultants by various contracting agencies, third party inspection agencies, consultancy organisations, and government departments. With increase in the impact of technology, chemical engineers are widely engaged in research and development (R & D) activities pertaining to nanomaterials, biomaterial synthesis, and development of alternative processes, process design & simulation, and software development.

Water and Wastewater Management Centre [WWMC] for MSMEs
About the Centre

The Water and Wastewater Management Centre for MSMEs has been established in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Siddaganga Institute of Technology, Tumkur with a generous financial aid to the tune of Rs. 135 lakhs from Karnataka Council for Technological Upgradation (KCTU), Government of Karnataka and Sree Siddaganga Education Society (SSES).

The project was conceptualized in the year 2016-17 to help the Micro, Small, and Medium-scale Enterprises (MSMEs) in Karnataka and also academic/research establishments to meet their water testing requirements and stringent water quality standards.

The Centre has been established with a vision and mission to meet the aspirations of industry, institutions, and society at large.

Vision

"To be a Centre of Excellence in technical services related to water and wastewater management of MSMEs".

Mission

"To improve the water quality of MSMEs, institutions, and society at large by providing high quality analytical testing services and solutions".

Preamble

Water has a broad impact on all aspects of human life including but not limited to health, food, energy, and economy. In addition to the environmental and economic aspects, the impacts of poor water quality in the development and well-being of a community, society, and nation cannot be understated. The perennial supply of good quality water is quintessential for a healthy society. It is evident from recent reports that water-borne and non-fatal infections cause the death of more than 200 million people every year. It is estimated that within the next couple of decades, the current water supply will decrease by one-third. Polluted surface/groundwater sources are another reason for reduced freshwater supplies.

Tumkur is a hub for various agro-based, food processing, and metallurgical industries. With rapid industrialization, increasing human population, limited water resources, and deteriorating water quality, a good water management strategy is essential. Thence the need to establish a centre to (a) carry-out research on development of novel techniques for water and wastewater treatment; (b) support the local industries to characterize their water and wastewater for the right use, reuse, and recycle; (c) Enhance industry-academia collaboration in the area of water treatment.

Objectives of the Centre

  • Assist MSMEs to maintain their water quality.
  • Technological know-how on water treatment.
  • Develop low-cost technologies for water purification.
  • Water testing facilities and purification methods to meet the local/ KSPCB/CPCB/industrial standards.

Benefits to MSMEs:

  • The centre will provide viable solutions to water-related problems of local industries viz., rice, coconut, food industries, etc.
  • Assist the local government / NGOs in implementing potable water schemes.
  • Promote research activities in the areas of water purification, and development of water treatment technologies based on bio-/ nano- materials.
  • In-house training for young professionals in water analysis, testing, and treatment protocols.
  • Promote awareness among industries and society for reclamation, reuse, and recycle of water.

Testing Facilities

The following equipment is available in the centre to perform different tests on water and wastewater.

ICP-MS is a type of mass spectrometer capable of detecting metals and several non-metals at concentrations ranging from ppb (parts per billion) to ppt (parts per trillion).

    Applications:
  1. . Geology - trace elements in rocks sediments and soil leachates.
  2. . Biotechnology - metal contents in proteins or enzymes.
  3. . Medical - trace metal content in bone/ tissue/ food/ blood.
  4. . Pharmaceuticals - detection inorganic impurities.
  5. . Water - to detect heavy metals in surface water, groundwater, process water or wastewater.

ICP-MS


Total Organic Carbon

Total Organic Carbon (TOC) is the total amount of carbon in an organic compound and is often used as a non-specific indicator of water quality. Introduction of organic matter into water systems occurs not only from living organisms and from decaying matter in source water, but also from purification and distribution system materials. TOC as an analytic technique is used to measure water quality during the drinking water purification process. Before source water is treated for disinfection, TOC provides an estimate of the amount of natural organic matter in the water source.

    Applications:
  1. Environmental: Groundwater, wastewater, and sewage.
  2. Pharmaceutical: To measure contamination by organic compounds.
  3. Chemical Industries:To detect the impurities in reagents or raw chemicals.
    Other Facilities available include:
  • Laminar Air Flow Chamber
  • BOD Incubator
  • pH meter
  • Dissolved Oxygen meter
  • Conductivity meter
  • Turbidity meter
  • UV-Visible Spectrophotometer
