The treatment of chemical industry’s three types of waste requires chemical engineers or environmental engineers?
Thread Content
The treatment of the three types of waste generated in the chemical industry requires either chemical engineers or environmental engineers. For example, the treatment of industrial wastewater and exhaust gases is often entrusted to specialized environmental protection companies; such companies rarely have registered chemical engineers on staff. However, it seems that environmental protection related to the chemical industry falls within the scope of responsibilities of registered chemical engineers, while chemical design firms require the presence of environmental engineers. What do people think: is it more related to the chemical industry or to environmental protection when it comes to dealing with waste from the chemical industry?
In terms of design, it falls under engineering; in terms of practice, it relates to environmental impact assessment. Design institutes are not only responsible for designing systems for handling waste materials but also must carry out environmental impact assessments. Giving it to an environmental protection company is like trying to use a tiger’s skin – such companies are completely useless
As a chemical engineering engineer, one must know a bit about everything; in college, I took courses from almost every department.
The registration requirements for chemical engineering professionals include aspects related to environmental protection; you can find out more by doing some research on it
Doing more is also a good way for an individual to build up experience
Registered engineers are used by design firms to apply for qualifications; chemical engineering design firms must have registered environmental engineers, while environmental protection companies do not need registered engineers if they are not applying for design qualifications
It’s really necessary to learn more!*
