Industrial Chemistry
WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY?
Industrial Chemistry is the application of chemical knowledge in technology and industry. Industrial Chemists are applied scientists, some of whom are engaged in solving problems at the forefront of research, while others are responsible for successful operations of some of Australia's largest companies in the chemical industry.
Some major areas Industrial Chemists are involved in:
- Safety and Efficiency - Industrial Chemists are constantly striving to improve the safety and efficiency of making important chemicals and materials.
- Optimisation - Typically Industrial Chemists undertake optimisation of complex processes, but unlike engineers, Industrial Chemists examine and change the chemistry of the process itself.
- Environmental monitoring and control - Industrial Chemists are at the forefront of the management and control of the environment of industrial processes, to ensure a clean and safe future.
Degrees in Industrial Chemistry are accredited by the IChemE Association Australia.
