Petro Chemistry and Process Engineering

Chemicals are produced either directly through the pyrolysis of petroleum or indirectly through the chemical processing of natural gas or petroleum oil. Acetylene, benzene, ethane, ethylene, methane, propane, and hydrogen are the main petrochemicals from which hundreds of additional compounds are generated. These derivatives serve as feedstock for the manufacture of many other goods, including elastomers, fibres, plasticizers, and solvents.
Olefins (ethylene, propylene, and butadiene), aromatics (benzene, toluene, and xylenes), and methanol are examples of primary petrochemicals. Petrochemical intermediates are often created by the chemical conversion of main petrochemicals to more complex derivative products.
Process engineering is a crucial phase in the petrochemical industry and for the design, building, upkeep, and improvement of massive machinery and facilities used for processing and producing oil and gas, whether onshore or offshore.
Crude oil desalting and distillation, solvent extraction and de waxing, thermal, catalytic, and hydro cracking, atmospheric and vacuum distillation, conversion processes involving decomposition, unification, alteration and petroleum refining and petrochemicals.
