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

[@ChemicalEngineeringGuy]

Wow, congrats! Which one do you prefer the most?

[@ja23gonz]

@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy my favorite was Cement Plant ...it´s very, i dont know how it said, in spanish it´s called "artesanal" industry..there is no much books about cement process

[@hajar2109]

Ey! And in Spain with the degree in chemistry you can also work in the industries ??

[@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

[@Maqing]

(I live and work in a foreign country, stuck during the epidemic, hence this professional isolation)

[@ChemicalEngineeringGuy]

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it and thanks for your support! Also congrats on following your own path in engineering... I'm trying to make a small engineering community soon!

[@ChemicalEngineeringGuy]

Im sorry for you... but is it nice overall?=

[@Maqing]

@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy no worries, it is nice and worth it at the moment, and I am supported by online communities and channels like yours!

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.

[@ChemicalEngineeringGuy]

It is indeed important, but I tried to include mostly Chemicals... Although, by definition, steels and ferrous materials are indeed chemicals XD... I will make a video on mining and ferrous industry soon!

[@souviktalukdarche488]

@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy About that, you are right.

[@stephaanjacques2269]

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!)

[@ChemicalEngineeringGuy]

Thanks for subscribing! I only have approx 3 years experience. I have been working in online education ever since (7 years approx)

[@stephaanjacques2269]

@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy Hey well I think it's pretty cool that you are able to help educate people, especially chemical engineers in the specifics of industries and stuff. I think it would be pretty difficult otherwise as you most likely learn on the job for different industry specifics.

[@pakko7416]

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.

[@ChemicalEngineeringGuy]

Yeah, I wanted to add it, but to be honest, I think it is a little bit more into the mechanical side (the first operations). But definetively refining the ores is a chemical engineering job, also the scrubbing of all the vent gases. I will for sure add some videos on mining. Are you in that industry?

[@pakko7416]

@@ChemicalEngineeringGuy When I studied Chem Eng the curriculum was based on oil and petrochemicals but strangely, when I finished studies I started my career in the metals industry, Aluminium smelting. I did several other metals too. I moved into petrochemicals and natural gas later in my career. Chemical engineers compete with metallurgists in the minerals and metals industry where the metallurgists have the upper hand because they specialise in minerals and metals. However, Chem. Engineers are indispensable because of the latitude of their training particularly in unit operations and the systems approach they adopt in designing processes.

[@ChemEngWeekly]

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

[@ChemicalEngineeringGuy]

thanks man! I also think semiconductors is a great industry, but I spare it for another video (coming soon) XD

[@ChemEngWeekly]

I see! Looking forward to it!

[@sung4542]

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

[@StarGang33]

thought the same. I thought semiconductors was one of THE chemE sectors

[@sbuhnt]

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

[@ChemicalEngineeringGuy]

I really thing is thould be driven by every field of engineering... Each can add up a piece to the puzzle. ChemE is for sure competent in chemicals and processes, but for machine operations, mechanical engineering is much better... For electrical systems, the Electrical Engineer.... and so on :)... For the new energies, Hydrogen, Carbon Captures, Solar and EV, ChemE has indeed a great advantage!

[@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 :)

[@ChemicalEngineeringGuy]

Hi Muhammad, for sure! I know there's a lot of attention right now into greener processes... But remember that anything recycled, requires energy + materials to bring them back to final product. To be honest ALL industries are polluting our planet, its not about the industries per se, but the economic systems we use

[@knoela8024]

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

Currently R&D in this sector is booming but a few industrialized processes. If you're interested in research, you can be part of a growing force and even get the chance to be part in developing a process from scratch to commercialization.

For sure, most traditional industries are being "copied" or substituted by Bio companies, essentially replacing older technologies and products with newer one, typically more friendly to the environment
