Diploma in Petrochemical Engineering
About the Department

Petrochemical engineering is a branch of engineering that applies the experimental sciences together with mathematics and economics to produce, transform, transport and properly use materials and energy. It essentially deals with the engineering of petrochemicals, energy and the processes that create and/or convert them. Modern petroleum engineers are concerned with processes that convert raw materials or chemicals into more useful or valuable forms. They are also concerned with pioneering valuable materials and related techniques – which are often essential to related fields such as nanotechnology, fuel cells and bioengineering.
