The American science fiction tv drama, Heroes, featured a series of superhuman abilities. Wonder of human Flying, Space time Traveling, Reading other's Mind, Spontaneously Cells Regenerate and so on. Tell you a secret, the gene transformation is actually sector of Biochemical Engineering in reality.

For example:

Currently, the pill is for cure illness but the engineers are already researching on the subject -  rapid cell regeneration. In the new future, pills not only will be used on nutrition, medication, yet it might could improve your intelligence, cure the wound instantly. It's like a dream but they have working on it in reality.

Heroes

Besides, the film Harry Potter, characters possess of abilities with magic spell, leads into views of wild imaginative world that surpass ordinary humanity. Yet scientists can tell you, It's not magic, It's chemistry! The magic spells and tricks actually came from science experiments.

For example:

- The Lumos Curse:
The lumos spell illuminates the end of a wizard’s wand. Chemical engineers do create the energy that keeps the lights on. From nuclear and fossil fuels, through to renewable and fuel cells, chemical engineers work across all parts of energy landscape to ensure that our electricity needs are met.

Harry Potter

With all these above, it shows us how fantastic the world is developed by contributions of our great Engineers in this evolution era. Respectful.

Steam Blowing

Cleaning by steam blowing is carried out basically for steam circuits (i.e for steam generating boilers, steam heated exchangers, steam generator upstream piping or other steam lines). Because of problems of condensation of steam or draining of condensate, this sort of cleaning needs to be utilized with the utmost service, as it can potentially develop vacuum in the equipment being cleaned.

The purpose of blowing or cleaning the steam lines before starting up a new unit is to eliminate any contaminant remaining in the equipment (i.e. superheater) and also steam piping after installment is finished.

On older devices the need for steam line blowing should be considered complying with significant pressure components repairs, where the probability of overview of foreign material into the system exists.

Since avoidance of damage to the plant steam system is the prime issues, the duty for determining the efficiency of the steam line blowing operation rests with the plant operator.

The principle behind blowing steam to clean the lines is that the thermal cycling (heating/cooling) as well as high velocity gas flowing with the line will certainly "shock" the pipe to break the factory scale and weld slag far from the pipeline wall.

Preferably, steam blowing need to be done before the system being insulated to max the thermal cycling of the equipment. If the system is insulated, a greater time in between successive steam blowing procedures might be essential to allow the system to cool down.

Wastewater treatment

Wastewater treatment is a procedure to convert wastewater - which is water no longer required or suitable for its most use - right into an effluent that can be either returned to the water cycle with very little environmental problems or recycled. The latter is called water reclamation and implies evasion of disposal by use of treated wastewater effluent for different purposes.
 

Treatment suggests getting rid of impurities from water being treated; and some methods of treatment apply to both water and wastewater. The physical infrastructure used for wastewater treatment is called a "wastewater treatment plant" (WWTP).

The treatment of wastewater belongs to the over-arching field of sanitation, with the management of human waste, solid waste, sewage treatment, stormwater (drainage) management, and water treatment

Byproducts from wastewater treatment plants, such as screening, grit and sewage sludge may likewise be treated in a wastewater treatment plant. If the wastewater is predominantly from municipal sources (households and small industries) it is called sewage and its treatment is called sewage treatment.

The Future of Mankind – Technology & Innovation

The Future of Mankind – Technology & Innovation

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING:

focuses on securing sustainable energy supplies, food and nutrition, access to clean water, health and wellbeing, green revolution and pollution solutions.

Human knowledge is growing very fast. The world consist very rapid technical change and hyper economy.

It’s a major global challenge

They enhanced the quality of life for humankind, the industrial revolution has brought to mankind can be attributed to the work of chemical engineers

The day will come when chemical plant can release to the environment only water and carbon dioxide, both in controlled quantities. Professional bodies can be powerful factors.

This will be a key area in the future, where chemical engineers can have a huge role driving these processes further to achieve better results.

The Future that Chemical engineering leads to:

1.      Genetic Transformation

 
In the future, human may be the superman or heroes like in fiction that futurist have been dreaming of.
Besides, this will help growing plants than have been genetically engineered to grow therapeutic proteins, pharmaceuticals and chemicals.
Chemical engineers are already working on producing tobacco plants that have been engineered to grow the antibodies for the ebola serum.

2.      Space Fuel Processor

   Space shuttle/ travel

Chemical engineers are currently working to find new sources for fuels e.g. bio-refineries, wind farms, hydrogen cells, algae factories and fusion technology. These could be applied to fuel space travel.

3.       Atomic powered home

The creation of nuclear plants for generating electricity, we fantasized about a future in personal nuclear reactors would be commonplace gadgets.

There was some movement to create 'mini-reactors' that might power small communities or even homes.

4.      Nano-manufacturer

With advances in nanotechnology already offering a huge range of nanoscale processes, a new group of nano-chemical engineers will be required to manufacture these systems.
This explosion of technological advances in nanotechnology will lead to opportunities arising for chemical engineers to lead the way.

5.      Nuclear fusion

It has always been treated as the solution to the energy crisis as it is meant to be constantly productive and extremely clean. It had achieved a technological breakthrough that will enable it to build compact fusion reactors, small enough to fit on the back of a truck, within a decade. The application of this technology could truly revolutionise the world in which we live.

6.      Uranium Recycler

Alternative energies like solar, wind, tidal and hydrogen are going to become increasingly important. But currently strategy highlights the leading role nuclear energy will have. However, current thinking is that a shortage of uranium damages this plan.
Chemical engineers, working as uranium recyclers, will be needed to convert bomb-grade uranium from warheads into low-enriched uranium for use in nuclear power plants to ensure that the uranium shortage does not cause an energy crisis


 

7.       Future Medicines & Food Pills

We thinking about creating miniaturized, 100-percent synthetic food from chemicals, so it could be consumed in tablet or capsule form.

While others saw it as a way to feed the planet's growing population without overtaxing farm soil or other natural resources eventually would create 'food pills that would contain everything necessary for life.

The wonder of new drugs invention that treat serious illness and improve lifescene.

8.      3D Printer

chemical engineers are driving this technology forward. These devices can build objects from digital blueprints – usually by layering plastic or other materials. 3D printer has came into everyday reality.

9.      Green Process Engineer
 

The focus of all chemical engineers is to work sustainably. Corporations and consumers worldwide are increasingly embracing green technology we achievements in sustainable technology, water management and energy efficiency.
This is not a new area but I can only see these roles becoming increasingly important as new processes are used. Green process engineers will develop environmentally benign chemical processes and products, select processes that minimise pollution, use less hazardous materials and develop alternative reactions. This will all need to be done while meeting emerging regulations and laws.
