All the leading chemical and non chemical industries are giving the due attention to research, which includes nanotechnology as well as biotechnology. To add to this there are some traditional areas of concern. It depends on chemical engineers to decrypt molecular information in order to develop new products and processes. Selection of chemical engineering project is a vital process. Many factors should be taken under consideration before selecting any project. According to requirements of modern day world, project should concentrate on issues like developing clean and sustainable energy systems, research in the essential life sciences, designing and production of life saving drugs pharmaceuticals, discovery and creation new materials.
Here are some examples of chemical engineering projects which hopefully might help you to make your choice.
Membranes and catalysts testing system:
This system precisely aims at giving much needed acceleration to rating of catalytic samples prepared at the part of Chemical engineering. In this project a reactor is used which contains all the essential factors. This is used to carry out the study which is needed in the reaction engineering and catalysis sector.
Along with some manual controls the system operations are mainly controlled and carried out by computers. If system is analyzed closely one can find that it is made up of broadly three components which consist of a couple of saturators, a inside reactor, furnace and a gas chromatograph. Out of these three parts chromatograph is more important as it is used for analysis of the products from the reactor. Interesting thing about this reactor is three components which are mentioned above, surprisingly purchased separately from different suppliers and connected together in a laboratory.
Creating bio-methanol from sugar beet pulp:
Bio-methanol can be created using pulp which is generated from sugar beet. This can be done with the help of pectin methyl esterase. Potassium permanganate assay is the base of the reaction which involves analytical method, methanol and PME activity. This reaction achieves its due results and because of this it is considered as accurate and stable reaction.
With the help of characterization result of potassium permanganate assay s, the methanol conversion from sugar beet pulp is studied further along with important evaluation of pH values, pulp size, and temperature.
Further in this chemical engineering project, methods such as, distillation, stripings along with pervaporation are studied and then used to separate and concentrate methanol from water. To the delight of engineers this project turned out extremely cost effective.
Project to produce silica particles consisting high surface area:
This project helps user to produce silica particles consisting high surface area, this is possible due to relentless Acoustodispersion Precipitation Reaction. In this chemical engineering project, ultrasonic reactor is used to atomize and break up silica gel into a drying chamber where further solidification takes place. Resulting powder which is created due to break-up is analyzed after particle synthesis. Few things should be analyzed such as effect of concentrated sodium silicate on entire reaction, calculation of flow rate via ultrasonic nozzle using volumeter and drying temperature on particular area of surface. Box-Behnken statistical design is used to derive the required mathematical equation. Further operations are carried out as per guidelines.
