• Ensure the process plant working efficiently.
  Chemical Engineers work closely with process chemists and control engineer to ensure the process plant using the production facilities efficiently
• Designing plant and equipment configuration
  This responsibility is to make sure that the production facilities can be readily adapted to suit the product range and technologies involved while taking environmental and economic aspects into account.
• Altering and assessing production process
  Chemical Engineer focus on finding alternatives for plant expansion or reconfiguration by developing and testing process simulation models.
• Applying new technologies to the current production process.
• Products studies & researches.
  With this responsibility, Chemical Engineers work on product studies and process analysis to find out ways to optimize the production of the plant.
  They also do research on new products from trials through to commercialization and improving product lines.
