AU ChemEng Soc: Aberdeen University Chemical Engineering Society

Hello Everyone!

The Chemical Engineering Society would like to congratulate the recent prize winners! We would also like to thank IChemE for making these prizes possible.

The prizes that have been handed out were for the 2nd Year Highest Point Average, the 3rd Year Group Project, as well as the BEng & MEng Year Projects.

Hopefully they will be available next year!

Hii! We have two chemical engineers from Worley coming this Wednesday at 3pm to FN2 to talk about what working in renewables is like and the company’s future in renewables! Alumni Lewis Hay who graduated a few years back will tell us about working in a hydrogen project and the team lead will go over their future renewable projects. Come along! 🔋⚡️

What a visit to Brewdog HQ in Ellon 🍻 Thank you everyone for joining us today and Brewdog for the opportunity!

🍺We got to do beer tasting - and learn how sulphur, oxygen, and diacetyl affect the taste of beer.

🧪We visited the chemical and microbiological laboratories at Brewdog and learned about their quality messurements.

👷‍♀️We also got a full tour of the production facilities - we saw how they turn malt barley step by step to beer by fermentation.

It was fun recognising the different process equipment and processes we had learned about in real life!

📢 We are organising a Brewdog Brewery tour on Wednesday 18th of October! Register your interest by filling the form linked in bio ✨

The tour is for members and includes a tour of the Brewdo brewery & lab, beer tasting and technical Q&A. You can purchase your membership from our AUSA page (link in bio) by logging in with your student details. We will confirm your spot with further details by email. A small transport fee may be requested upon confirming your spot.

Come along, learn about process engineering and have a bit of fun! 🍻

Welcome AU Chem Eng Soc’s new committee for the Academic Year 2023-24!

We are looking forward to meeting you in our upcoming events 🗓️

The AU Chemical Engineering Society is still looking for a IChemE Rep and Year Reps for the next academic year. The IChemE Rep is responsible for email communications with the IChemE (Institution of Chemical Engineers). The Year Reps role is to represent their class and inform them about upcoming events. Both are great roles to add on to your CV and gives you the chance for networking in the industry! DM us to join or email us at chem.eng(at)ausa.org.uk ✨

👇Process Engineering Weekly Insights: Types of Hazards in Industry 👇

Hazards can occur on site for many different reasons, and it's important for us as engineers to ensure that we are aware of all the different types so we are best prepared when a situation like this might present itself, as identification is the first step that comes before prevention!

There are six main types of hazard: Chemical, Biological, Physical, Safety, Ergonomic, and Psychological hazards!

👇 Process Engineering Weekly Insights: Steam gasification👇

Steam gasification usually refers to a gasification process that uses steam as the gasifying agent. Using this type of gasification method will provide more opportunity for water-gas shift reactions to occur, which may be an upgrade to the type of syngas produced from the fuel used in this process.

Fluidisation beds are usual applications for this type of process, although other types can be used.

Hi everyone! 👷‍♀️👷‍♂️

We would like to thank everyone who attended the IChemE Final Year Presentation, organised by AU ChemEng Society, earlier this morning 🤩.

We hope students who attended this found the insights on resources, chartership, professional development 👔 and support both as a student and after graduation beneficial.

A copy of the PowerPoint slides 💻 and useful resource links 🔗 have been made available to all final year UG students who accessed the meeting invitation.

If you are in another year/programme but wish to view these, please reach out to us via Facebook, Instagram or on [email protected] 📧 and we will provide these to you.

We would like to thank IChemE for their time today in delivering the presentation and providing very valuable information.

Any further queries, comments or feedback is always appreciated 😊.

👇Process Engineering Weekly Insights: Nuclear Reactors 👇

A nuclear reactor is a vessel that is able to maintain and preform nuclear reactions. The aim behind nuclear reactors is to produce a lot of energy to fuel the world of today. Nuclear reactors contain reactions such as fission which consists of the splitting of atomic nuclei by being hit by a neutron to produce energy.
