A petrochemical Engineer is involved in designing means and
mechanisms for excavating and digging up crude oil and gas from the
earth. A petrochemical engineer's role includes a lot of involvement in
chemical engineering phenomena like heat transfer, fluid dynamics,
thermodynamics etc.
Petrochemical Engineers are able to break down oil or natural gas into
its base components and then reconstruct it as specific types of oil
products such as auto fuel, as well as plastics, polymers and other
compounds found in many everyday products. Petrochemical
Engineering graduates have plenty of job opportunities in manufacturing
and service sector industries such as oil and gas reservoirs, specialty
chemicals, rubber and plastics, power production, biotechnology, tyre
manufacturing, nanotechnology, mining process, mineral based
industries, petrochemical plants, pharmaceuticals, paints, synthetic
fibers, chemical engineering designs, nuclear energy, materials science,
development of new sources of energy and even medicine.

Wax, also a by-product of petroleum, is used to make candles and mold various
show pieces, polishes, and milk cartons.
Detergent, a petrochemical product is also used in every day life. It has been
categorized into 2 types - soapless and the soapy variety. The range of soap less
detergents is generally the liquids and the powders. Detergents have oils, alcohol
(a petrochemical product) or petrochemicals as their ingredients.
Food-additives are another major kinds of petrochemical which are known to act
as preservatives and increase the tenure of freshness of canned food, so that the
freshness of food can be enjoyed anywhere at any point of time. Petrochemical
also stretches itself to the production of Vitamins like the ASA (Acety salicylic
acid).
Sneakers (synthetic shoes) have also got petroleum products as their content.
The rubber soles are made keeping in mind that they retain the same flexibility in
all form of weather unlike natural rubber which expands when cooled and
contracts when heated.
The non-stick pads made to plaster wounds are also a petrochemical product.
Today, the medical industry has improved its standards by leaps and bounds and
petrochemicals have served as a boon to this sector.
Dyes which are very familiar petrochemical products have various colors
especially the color of the ink used in the pens.
Plastic bottles are made from petrochemicals too. Polyester is used in the
making of most plastic commodities. Besides this, compact discs and cassettes
are made up of polyester or petrochemical oil.
Thus, petrochemicals have enormous uses. The petrochemical products are used
in every nook and corner of the world ranging from household applications to
the massive industrial production taking place across the world.
