Specialized Laboratories and Equipment of the Chemical Engineering Department
The educational, research, and central laboratories are considered the main pillar of teaching and research in Chemical Engineering. These spaces form an essential bridge between theoretical instruction and practical, industrial applications. Recognizing this central role, the Chemical Engineering Department at Kermanshah University of Technology has always prioritized the development and equipping of these units as a strategic investment in training specialized human resources and conducting applied research.
With the aim of providing a platform for a deep understanding of fundamental phenomena, strengthening experimental skills, and enabling the feasibility assessment and development of new technologies, the department’s laboratory complex is continuously being established and updated. What follows is an overview of this scientific and practical treasure, which provides the tools necessary to advance the frontiers of knowledge and respond to industrial challenges for students and researchers.
General Laboratory: The General Chemistry Laboratory of the Chemical Engineering Department is one of the foundational and educational laboratories of this department. It has been established with the aim of teaching fundamental chemistry concepts and developing practical skills in students. This laboratory is equipped with the necessary facilities and equipment to conduct experiments related to topics such as solutions, chemical reactions, acids and bases, stoichiometry, and laboratory safety principles. It plays an effective role in strengthening the connection between theoretical education and practical experience for students, preparing them for more specialized Chemical Engineering courses and laboratories.
Basic Educational Laboratories: The basic laboratories of the Chemical Engineering Department include laboratories for Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, Oil and Gas Process Control, Unit Operations 1 and 2, and the Petroleum Laboratory. These laboratories have been established with the aim of complementing theoretical education and enhancing the practical capabilities of undergraduate students.
In these laboratories, students become familiar with applied and industrial concepts such as transfer phenomena, fluid behavior under various conditions, key processes in the oil and gas industries, and the operation of essential equipment used in industrial units. Conducting practical experiments in these environments not only creates a deeper understanding of Chemical Engineering principles but also strengthens essential skills in students, such as analyzing experimental data, working with measurement tools, and troubleshooting systems. This practical training prepares students for entering industrial environments and engaging in new research areas.
