Chemical and Process Technology is a field that focuses on the design, operation, and management of chemical and process plants. It combines scientific principles with engineering practices to transform raw materials into useful products while ensuring safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability. The discipline covers a wide range of unit operations such as distillation, absorption, filtration, drying, crystallization, evaporation, solvent extraction, and water purification. It also emphasizes occupational health and safety, waste minimization, process control, and continuous improvement. Training in this area, such as the National Diploma in Chemical and Process Technology (NVQ Level 5 & 6), equips learners with strong theoretical knowledge and practical competencies. Graduates are prepared to take on supervisory to managerial roles in industries like petroleum, plastics, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and environmental management
