TOP 10 Chemical Engineering Contribution to Society

TOP 10 Chemical Engineering Contribution to Society

1. FUELING THE WORLD’S ECONOMIES

• The world's economy needs energy to keep it
moving.
• Chemical engineers stretch fossil fuels into various

energy supplies, e.g. gasoline, diesel, jet oil, etc.


2. CREATING CLEANER ENERGY 

Chemical engineers are creating a new generation of
clean energy technologies.
- Nuclear power plant
- NiMH battery
- Alternative energies such as Air , Wind, Water,

Solar, etc.
               NiMH battery for vehicles

Air for vehicles




3. PRODUCTS FOR GROWING POPULATIONS 

- Water purification
- Water desalination
- GMO foods

- Green productions



4. REMOVING HARMFUL SULFUR FROM FUELS

- Catalytic converter for car’s exhausted gas
- Unleaded gasoline - gasohol

- Air pollution control

5. BETTER LIVING THROUGH CHEMISTRY




Chemical engineers have made plastics possible.

6. STRETCHING NATURAL RESOURCES

Chemical engineers make innovative materials.
- Synthetic rubbers
- Bio-plastics
- Kevlar

- etc.

7. LARGE SCALE PRODUCTION ENGINEERING

Even if a product was created by a scientist, there 
is a good chance it was perfected and made 

practical by chemical engineers.
                       Penicillin Discovery
In 1929, Sir Alexander Fleming discovered a strain of mould that inhibit bacteria Straphylococus growth, called penicillin.

8. CONVENIENT & ABUNDANT FOOD

When popping your favorite ready-to-eat meal in the 
microwave, thank chemical engineers!
- Processed food, canned food
- Powder coffee, Powder milk

- Sterilized food

9. HEALING DISEASES & EXTENDING LIFE

Chemical engineering has advanced medical 
science, improving the quality of life and saving 

millions of lives. 

10. POWERING THE PERSONAL COMPUTER 

The tools chemical engineers use to improve
computers may have long-winded names, but their
advances make our gadgets all the more powerful.
- Germanium-based silicon chips that help your
laptop perform faster .
- From thin-film liquid crystal displays to software

that simulates complex industrial processes.
