Seeking advice on experience in *chemical engineering English
Thread Content
I would like to ask everyone: for a student majoring in English, how can one improve their knowledge of chemical engineering English? Since my current job is related to the chemical industry, I am seeking your valuable experience. Thank you all in advance :)
You can read two journals to improve your skills in English translation and knowledge of technical terms: 1. Chemical Engineering 2. Hydrocarbon Processing Industrial
Just read more technical materials – after all, it provides motivation and helps you get closer to the realities of your work. If your supervisor notices that you’re slacking off, they will understand
Since there’s that working environment, one should ask more questions! ! The wealth of technical talents around us is the most precious!
First, get to know the professional knowledge in the chemical industry, then read some articles related to it; your proficiency in this field should improve quite quickly
Studying English as a major is extremely difficult, as some basic concepts are lacking. If one wants to make progress, it’s best to first enter the field of chemistry and learn those basic concepts. It’s also advisable to gain experience on the factory floor, to get to know the relevant equipment and processes as well as their corresponding English terms; by combining this with practical examples, one can advance further
I really want to watch it, but I have no knowledge of chemistry at all; I can’t understand anything~~~
I know it starts with chemistry, but where should I begin? Where would be a better place to start learning? In high school, chemistry and math were the subjects I feared the most; trying to pick them up again now might not be that easy~ I have indeed been to many places related to this field, as a recent graduate I used to go there often, but later I stopped going for certain reasons. After not using these skills for some time, it’s now difficult for me. Moreover, what I know is mostly about equipment, with little knowledge of the manufacturing processes! Ah, one really realizes how little one knows when it’s time to use that knowledge
If you have any questions, come and participate in discussions in the Haichuan English forum. Also, learn from the technical staff around you; only by combining technology with English can you understand professional English better!
There’s probably no shortcut; one should read more foreign-language literature in related fields, so that over time many professional terms can be recognized at a glance
It can be recognized, but I just don’t understand it; I can’t express it accurately when translating
I have been working in the aromatic chemicals industry for 22 years, spending extended periods of time in the production facilities on the front line of chemical manufacturing. I have translated the original process package manuals from Uop Company, and I have also worked with foreign workers. Chemical engineering English is completely different from everyday English; if needed, we can communicate for free and learn together*. No disturbance unless sincere! 13841993903
Send it in English so I can take a look, help you out, and tell you the translation techniques.

That’s right; not understanding something stems from a lack of practical experience – without actual hands-on experience, it’s impossible to translate
