- W2594006909 abstract "Chemical engineering owes its existence to UK/US pioneers who, from the 1920s, attempted to put order into the design and operation of plants to produce bulk chemicals. Concepts such as unit operations, flow-sheeting and process control appeared and provided the basis for the development of a worldwide petrochemical industry. Concerns about environmental impact arose significantly later. The focus became more on fundamentals, with plant operability and human and environmental safety coming to the fore. The latter part of the 20th century up to the present has seen chemicals increasingly becoming commodities, produced where feed-stocks are cheapest and the closure, at least in Australia, of smaller sub-economic plants in favour of offshore manufacture. Only in the minerals processing industry, LNG, water treatment and in medically-related applications has Australia maintained a significant international presence. This paper specifically examines the likely impact beyond 2020 of new technologies that have the ability to transform the manufacturing industry and potentially provide a fertile new path for the discipline of chemical engineering. At its heart, chemical engineering provides understanding of phase interfaces and how novel processes can be developed from fundamental molecular behaviour. Beyond 2020 processes incorporating nanotechnology, synthetic biology, ultra-miniaturisation, energy minimisation and large scale production of advanced materials will dominate societal requirements for good health, cheap energy, water and environmental safety. Will the profession adapt to the demands of this brave new world?" @default.
