About ChE IIPE
Offering both undergraduate (B.Tech) and postgraduate (PhD) programs, the Department of Chemical Engineering aims to provide students with the extensive knowledge they need to be a part of the Energy Sector in the Indian Industrial space. The courses provided are a balanced mix of traditional areas—reaction engineering, thermodynamics, process control, etc.—and emerging areas—waste management, renewable energy, machine learning, nanoscience, etc.—of chemical engineering. Students are given hands-on experience with various simulation software (MATLAB, Aspen, Fluent), along with access to laboratories which have the latest equipment and machinery
- The department faculty are involved in industrial consultancy and various sponsored involved in various research projects, particularly interdisciplinary ones, in collaboration with industry. The focus areas of this research in the department include distribution networks, energy storage, surface and plasma engineering, water treatment, machine learning, and pollution abatement, to name a few. .
- With support from Indian PSUs in the oil and natural gas sectors (Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Gas Authority of India Ltd. (GAIL), etc.), the Department of Chemical Engineering continually strives to create an environment wherein students can not only learn, but also experience and implement; to become highly motivated individuals with the skill and knowledge required to make a difference in the Chemical Industry.
From the Head of the Department
The Department of Chemical Engineering was established in 2016 to achieve the objectives of IIPE, i.e., providing skilled personnel for the Oil and Natural Gas industry.
- The department started its operation with a B.Tech. Chemical Engineering Program and an intake of 50 students. Subsequently, Ph.D. and Masters's degree programs are incorporated in the years 2020 and 2022 respectively.
- Process Modeling and Simulation, Energy Management, Transport Modeling, Pollution Abatement, Catalysis and Reaction Engineering, Multiphase modeling and molecular simulations, Adsorption Separation, and Polymers are the focus areas of research in the department, especially from the perspective of the oil and gas sector.
- The faculty in the department are involved in industrial consultancy and sponsored research projects. The department is steadily building up the laboratory infrastructure necessary for UG, PG, and research activities. With the steady increase in faculty research consultancies and sponsored projects, the department is progressing in the right direction of success.
- The department has an active IIChE student chapter. The department organizes webinars and tech talks to improve both the technical and behavioral skills of students.
