The
Department of Chemical Engineering organized a scientific visit for fourth-year
students to the Oil Research and Development Center on Wednesday, December 18,
2024. Accompanying the students were the department head and a select group of
faculty members. During the visit, they toured the Catalysts Department, the
Fat Department, and the Oil Processing Units. The center's staff provided
detailed explanations of all the equipment and how to use it, and they were
also informed about the additives used in fats and the testing methods with
modern devices. Additionally, they learned about ongoing research in the field
of catalysts used in the gasoline upgrading unit, as well as how to use
fluidized bed reactors, fixed bed reactors, and hydrogenation reactors. At the
end of the visit, they met with the General Director of the center, who
confirmed the center's readiness to support the department financially through
scientific research that serves this important sector, including research on
pollution and renewable energy. It is worth noting that the Department of
Chemical Engineering aims, through multiple scientific visits, to integrate
theoretical knowledge with practical experience, enabling graduates to acquire
essential scientific skills and be prepared to serve both the public and
private sectors.
