Chemical Engineering and Oil Pollution - B.Sc
Specialty: Chemical Engineering and Oil Pollution
Certificate : Bachelor’s degree in Science of Chemical Engineering and Oil Pollution
The chemical engineering and environment pollution branch is considered one of the rare scientific branches in the country's universities and provides the country with engineers specialized in designing equipment dealing with treating petroleum pollutants in addition to their general specialization in chemical engineering sciences. This branch was established in 2015 to meet the need of market to engineers specialized in the field of treatment of the oil and industrial pollution and protection of the environment.
The Chemical Engineering Department, since it’s established, has been providing the oil and industrial sectors with chemical engineers graduating from the oil Refining and chemical process branches. However, the great expansion in the oil and industrial sectors has led to necessity to establish a branch dealing with oil and industrial pollutants by preparing designs and integrated systems including plans, programs and research projects in addition to activation of cooperation with oil and industrial institutions.
The graduates of this branch will work to meet the needs of the various oil and industrial sectors, especially in oil refining units and industrial processes, and develop green technology field via solving various environmental problems and developing means of treatment for modern engineering techniques.
The branch emphasizes the practical side in addition to the theoretical side through the presence of specialized laboratories and curricula. Also, the branch's instructors from time to time do seminars for employees of the Ministry of Oil and graduates of chemical engineering departments to transfer the latest developments in this field.
Fields of work for graduates of Chemical Engineering and Oil Pollution:
The study in this branch aims to provide the graduates with broad knowledge and skills necessary to contribute to the suggestion of engineering projects to address the environmental problems dealing with oil refineries and industrial factories in addition to evaluating various environmental problems and developing methods of treatments. Therefore, the graduate student can work in different field such as the oil sector in oil and gas refining operations and industry in addition to industrial chemical processes.
