Which discipline is in charge of determining the design parameters for steel chimneys for exhaust gas emissions from chemical plants? Steel chimneys require selection, and professional design criteria are needed – which field is responsible for handling these tasks?
The design criteria for steel chimneys are determined by the process engineering department, while tasks such as the selection of steel chimneys, determination of their materials, and providing design requirements for other departments are handled by the civil engineering department.
Either the steel chimney manufacturer shall provide the funds, or the design shall be completed by a manufacturer with the appropriate design qualifications.
The design criteria for steel chimneys for exhaust gas emissions from chemical plants are usually determined by environmental engineering professionals, with the involvement of structural engineers to ensure structural safety. Environmental engineers are responsible for the emission standards and selection of chimneys, while structural engineers are in charge of the structural design and stability analysis of chimneys. .
Environmental engineering falls under the Public Works Department; general specialties are not divided that finely, otherwise there wouldn’t be enough time to even eat.
