thanks I´ve worked at 3 of those top industries.. Construction as Cement Plant, Oil Plant and also Water Waste treatmeant

[Maqing]

Hola Emmanuel, I am your fun ever since bought your Aspen course, thanks for all the hard work, I like your talks about the industry and the fun stuff about/around the industry. No one of my friends or colleagues is a chemical engineer so following your channel is indeed relieving, wishing you big successes! Alisa

why is the semiconductor industry not in the list? there are a lot of chemical engineers in the industry and its never gonna fall.

[souviktalukdarche]

As I am working in the ferrous and non ferrous industry, I thought that would form a part of this video, but I am hoping to see it in the future.

[rohanpatil]

hello..chemical engineers...one of the best field for chemical engineers is water and waste water treatment ..v r in specialised disc RO technology for waste water reuse from textiles tanneries..

[pakko]

Congratulations, great video, very informative indeed! You could add the mineral processing industry which uses extensively unit operations like reactors, scrubbing, mixing, etc. Basically, the mineral processing industry is the crucible of many industry fields such as energy, chemical, water treatment and more. Examples of mineral processing industries are the alumina production and aluminium smelting industry, nickel metal production, ferrous industry, lithium industry (for batteries) and many more. May be in an updated video.

[SanketRoy]

Your current set of videos which you are uploading are all informative and just the thing that your audience wants 😁😄

[ChemEngWeekly]

Amazing video Emmanuel! Great industries there for ChemEs, although I think that semiconductors also is a great industry for ChemEng too 👍

[chemicalreactionworld]

Interesting fact is that you need 2-4 year experience to join 90% of theses firms.

[stephaanjacques]

Hi Emmanuel! I'm a Chemical Engineering student and I was Wondering roughly how long you have been a Chemical Engineer if you don't mind me asking.
It is really cool to see a Chemical Engineer on youtube. Hope you are doing well! (I am new to the channel and have subscribed!)

When r u going to start to explain unite operation

[tabkingdom]

I wish I could wok in the future in the water desalination sector or oil and gases sector🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️.

I believe Energy Sector should be driven by Chemical Engineers. However, there is a multidisciplinary approach required to execute energy projects. Power generation should be the competency of the chemical engineer more than electrical and mechanical engineers. Power transmission and distribution is definitely a competency of an electrical engineer. Then there are reforms in the transport fuels, and a transition towards a hydrogen economy. There is a great opportunity for a chemical engineer there. In fact, chemical engineers should be advocating for the hydrogen economy. I think the scope of a chemical engineer is limited to renewables such as Solar PV and Wind. Maybe there is great scope in hydropower, nuclear power, gas power, biofuels, waste to energy

[Feechre]

Im a Polymer collegiant and actually the polymer based that u talk about "not so green industry and monster industry to environment" not that 100% correct, it's because we're in polymer industry based is thinking about the impact to environment regarding for the most issues "plastic waste". Then, so on we're making such a recycle system and plant based polymer so hopefully it can be apply without any greeny things problem.
Obviously there's more RnD processes to do and we're aware about that :)

[kookikumar]

since you have a course for aspen plus in your website will you provide aspen plus with it

[knoela]

Chemicals are useful because they are used everywhere. I think I'll keep using it unless there's a replacement.

[subodhgautam]

Go for scale up, CRAMS, API, Fine chemicals, biopharma....

[teams]

Can you make a video explaining about renewable energy for chemical engineering?

[martianboy]

I need to get out of O&G. Thanks for the tips.
