Video Description: Introduction to Distillation | UTM Chemical Engineering Service Learning Project

We are Chemical Engineering students from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), and in this video, we're excited to share our Service Learning (SL) project with you! As part of our Separation Processes (SETK 3323) course, we've teamed up to create an engaging video series designed to educate secondary school students and the public about the fascinating world of Chemical Engineering.

In this video, we dive into the distillation process and its key applications – a vital industrial operation used in various fields like petroleum refining, essential oil extraction, and water purification. Our goal is to spread knowledge, spark curiosity, and raise awareness about Chemical Engineering, while also honing our skills in video production and teamwork.
