Separation Processes by Category. Separation Processes are a lot of them! They can be categorized in many ways, but this is one approach that works the must: By Phase creation/addition, whether there is a barrier, external field application or if there is a solid involved. This is an excerpt of the Introduction to Mass Transfer Course. More […]

Finally!  After 2 months working at home, the course is now ready! This course is an introduction to all those separation processes and techniques that you typically cover in your(s) Mass Transfer Operations Course(s). You can read this full blog post or go directly to the Course Page… In the meantime, check the trailer: https://youtu.be/uVjX1dpfe-Y

As an engineer working in companies related to chemical companies, it is important to understand the largest “players” This list is based on the most successful companies back 2017-2019 Most of the data is based on the following: https://cen.acs.org/business/finance/CENs-Global-Top-50-chemical/96/i31  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_chemical_producers https://valenciatowncenterpharmacy.com https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/which-are-the-world-s-largest-chemical-producing-companies.html The LIST: 1. BASF The most classic example of “pure” applied engineered chemistry…

In this blog post we will explore SOME relevant industries in Chemical Engineering. I will be writing further blog posts including even more industries! This is good news for you guys! It means that there are plenty of jobs in those industries for you in several positions (entry level, junior, senior, etc…) Here we go:

All the information that I will be showing in this POST is an extract of what I cover in this short course! I leave it here for FREE if you are interested! Chemical Engineering as a Profesional Career Mathematics You do not need to be a genius to understand that MATHEMATICS are the main language

This is a set of Chemical Engineering References I have gotten in my career.  This goes from shops, forums, websites and even social media groups. This is a PERSONAL list that I use by myself and recommend to my students as well, please share if you also think it is valuable! AIChe The AIChE (American

One of the best ways to increase your chances of getting hired is by setting apart from your competition. Recruiters always ask “What’s the difference between Candidate A and Candidate B” This is true specially when these are recent graduates, there is almost nothing more to compare but the grades, extracurricular activities AND SKILLS! It is very

Let’s get PERSONAL After all, who am I? I don’t want to get that philosophical but have you ever wonder about the people you see on YouTube? Who are they, what do they do for a living? Where do they work, and so on? Well, lets get personal… I’m going to tell you a little bit

In previous e-mails, I talked about myself mostly on the “professional” way… I showed you about my previous jobs as an engineer and as an online tutor… Now, the most obvious question is: How did I achieved this? I really think that education is the answer. Every single choice I made in life pushed me

This has NOTHING to do with Chemical Engineering whatsoever, BUT: I really like to share useful ideas when I find them. It is almost my “duty” to share them with you. Pretty similar to the “get lectured – then lecture others” They are to a certain extent Mentors to me, not only in the personal

One of the things I remember when I was in college was: “WHY are there no Chemical Engineering Channels?” I hated it… Specially because there were some channels related to Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, lots of robotics, lots of Chemistry… but NO Chemical Engineering… It is now 2019 and stil we have so little content on Chemical Engineering, it’s
