This is an optional subject located in the Chemical Process Engineering and Energy module. One of the main activities of the Chemical Engineer is focused on carrying out tasks related to Process Engineering, in this case, the subject provides the student with the necessary bases to face this activity from the vision of the use of non-renewable energy sources (coal and oil) but which account for the bulk of current use and production. In addition, the use of the products obtained from these sources is addressed to obtain other chemical compounds of indisputable technological interest: plastics, fertilizers, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, etc. The subjects with which it shares a module are closely related to each other.
