Browse Programs Admission InformationThe Chemical Process Engineering specialty at Sétif 1 University-Ferhat ABBAS trains engineers to design, optimize, and manage industrial processes that transform matter and energy. The program integrates reactor modeling, thermodynamics, heat/mass transfer, and flow management. Its core objectives include:
1. Mastering production technologies in chemical, pharmaceutical, and energy industries.
2. Optimizing processes to reduce costs, waste, and environmental impact.
3. Innovating in emerging fields (e.g., biorefineries, advanced materials, CO₂ capture).
4. Ensuring facility safety and final product quality.
5. Adapting solutions to circular economy principles and ecological transition challenges.
Graduates can work in:
1. Key Industries: Petrochemical, pharmaceutical, agri-food, energy, advanced materials, and waste treatment sectors, where engineers may hold roles such as: Process Engineer, Production Manager, R&D Manager, Industrial Optimization Consultant and Safety Expert.
2. Environment and Ecological Transition: Design of eco-responsible processes, CO₂ capture management, recycling, and circular economy.
3. International: Opportunities in multinational companies, overseas factory projects, or collaboration with standardization organizations.
4. Innovation: Development of disruptive technologies (e.g., bioprocesses, green hydrogen, digitalization via Industry 4.0).
The curriculum includes fundamental modules such as: Transfer Phenomena (Momentum Transfer, Heat Transfer, and Mass Transfer), Unit Operations (Fluid-Fluid and Fluid-Solid), Reactor Engineering (Homogeneous, Real, Heterogeneous, and Bioreactors), Industrial Organic Chemistry, Industrial Inorganic Chemistry, Chemical Thermodynamics, Chemical Kinetics, Computer Science, Programming, Electrochemistry, etc.
The program includes specialized modules such as: Refining and Petrochemical Processes, Adsorption and Membrane Separation Processes, Powder and Solids Technologies, Industrial Effluent and Waste Treatment (gaseous, liquid, and solid), Pharmaceutical and Parapharmaceutical Processes, Innovative Processes, Process Control, Command, and Regulation, Industrial Process Safety and Risk Management, Techno-Economic Evaluation of Industrial Processes, Corrosion and Installation Protection, ...etc.
Admission is reserved for holders of a baccalaureate (high school diploma) in mathematical techniques with a specialization in Process Engineering.
