- Moreover, our graduates have a steady place on the market, regardless of fluctuating trends.
Characteristics
Objective: Transform the material into a product that can be sold.
What does process engineering entail?
- Design of process and apparatuses supporting the process
- Minimization of consumption of energy, waste and harmful emissions in compliance with valid environmental legislation
- Application of similar principles in various processes (for example, “heat transfer” mechanism occurs both in energy-producing treatment of biomass and food-processing industry)
- Process control (automation, regulation, optimization)
- Safe and reliable process management
- Design of process equipment based on utilization of experiment’s results, computational support and feedback from actual operations
- Economic aspects including price, investment costs, operating costs and total costs
Process engineering, a discipline indispensable to everyday life
- Process engineering is responsible, among others, for:
- Food and beverages
- Petrol and diesel
- Paper
- Medicaments
- Energy
- Clean air
- Waste treatment
- And we could go on and on.
