One learns about a lot of different topics when studying engineering. What are some of the things that studying for a Chemical Engineering degree at university doesn't prepare you for when you work in the chemical and process industries?
00:00 Intro
00:33 The amount of piping
05:23 Mass & energy don't balance
10:02 Dealing with "that" operator
13:56 Being able to make a call
Process with Pat is the place to come for perspective and to ask stupid questions. I want you to leave more knowledgeable, confident, motivated, and most importantly, curious. I also want to invigorate a field that seems tired and uninspiring, at least if you get your perspective from internet forums. These are not lectures. This is a place for you to leave thinking “Oh! That’s why...”
This channel is not only for chemical engineers - anyone who works with processes should be able to find something of value here.

As a Chem E with 35 years experience, your comments are spot on.

Thank you, Pat. I really needed to hear that as a new engineer.

Awesome! Good luck! Remember, there’s no rush and never pretend to know something you don’t. Go kick arse!

Interesting. Regarding different types of Pipes criss-cross the plant I would like to add the sheer number of drain lines required. open drain, closed drain, hydrocarbon drain, amine drain etc. etc.

Nice input! I also didn’t know that you have separate systems for storm water sewers and for internal conservation sewers (for draining the nasty stuff). Obviously! But why would anyone know when they start!

Hey Pat do you have any suggestions on a book that you could recommend for piping systems and pumps

Application and politics. Exergy analysis has become popular recently, for example, and never really understood it until I had a practical context.

@ProcesswithPat 2 жыл бұрын

The politics is an excellent point! And certainly, even something as silly as valve sizing in the absence of application feels like you’re plugging numbers into equations.

I always had this though "management designs and plans for the engineer, engineer sorts out the management's plans, engineer gets all the blame for what they did and management all the praise" I want to design my own process but I am just an engineer (aka I have no money) so I can't do anything yet.

hi pat. can a mechanical engineering graduate do ms in process engineering? will he be able to work as a process engineer?

@ProcesswithPat 2 жыл бұрын

So it's not too common, but one of my colleagues has a mechanical background but currently works as a process specialist. I think if you work with a specific technology enough there is no reason why you can't. But it may be difficult to be hired as a graduate. Definitely not impossible though.
