The department of chemical engineering was established in 1944 in A. C. College of Technology under University of Madras. In September 1978, the department was transferred to the then newly-formed Anna University. The department which started with an undergraduate course in chemical engineering is presently offering undergraduate and postgraduate courses in chemical, petroleum refining and petrochemicals, and environmental science and technology. In early days of A.C.Tech research work was carried out in the conventional areas of chemical engineering like Absorption, Adsorption, Liquid-liquid extraction, and Fluid Dynamics. Over the period of years the areas of research have moved in tandem with the developments in the chemical process industrys. Currently the department focuses on forefront areas like Nanofiltration, Bioengineering and Environmental systems. At Present the Department offers two undergraduate courses
- 1.B.Tech - Chemical Engineering
- 2.B.Tech - Petroleum Refining and Petrochemical Engineering
and three Postgraduate courses
- 1.M.Tech - Chemical Engineering
- 2.M.Tech - Petroleum Refining and Petrochemical Engineering
- 3.M.Tech - Environmental Science and Engineering
