Should process design focus on the proper treatment of desulfurization and denitration wastewater, or on fine chemical production?
Thread Content
I’m a graduate from a 985 university; I graduated this year and have been working in process design for half a year. Before that, after completing my bachelor’s degree, I worked for one year in fine chemical research and development. Currently, I am working in fine chemical process design outside my home province, where there are few projects available and they tend to be of small scale. I have now received an offer for a job related to the design of desulfurization and denitrification water treatment processes in my hometown’s major city. The salary in this offer is better, but since accommodation and meals are not provided, the amount of money that remains after paying for these expenses over the course of a month for both jobs is roughly the same. I’m not sure if I should change it or not.
Given the current trends in the chemical industry, I personally suggest that you start by working in the field of fine chemicals. After all, this field covers a wide range of topics and involves dealing with many different aspects. Since you have just started working, it’s important to acquire a broad knowledge base and gather as many opportunities as possible. Working in fine chemicals will help you make better choices when it comes to selecting a job in the future. After 5 years of experience, you will have a clearer idea of your future direction, allowing you to make informed decisions. As for the desulfurization and denitration industry, it is currently at its peak; if you enter now, there may not be many opportunities left once enough experience has been accumulated. I also worked in chemical process design for 7 years before deciding to switch to the desulfurization and denitrification industry, and I have now made that transition!
One is chemical engineering processes, and the other is environmental protection. Basically, a decade constitutes a cycle: ten years ago, chemical processing facilities were in full use; ten years later, environmental protection projects became widespread. In the next decade, companies will place greater emphasis on safety and environmental protection, and supervision will become less strict, making it the era of fine chemical industries. I wonder which decade the original poster is striving for?
In the next decade, the chemical industry will not be as active as it is now; it will tend to stabilize. As for water treatment, it is not only used by chemical plants – power plants, municipal agencies, and pharmaceutical factories also make use of it. I am still optimistic about the prospects of water treatment
