About the course

The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering consists of 15 faculty (including one Canada Research Chair) and 4 technical staff members. Faculty are engaged in research in four major themes, namely, biotechnology and bioprocessing, energy and renewable resources, environment, and mineral processing and materials.

　　The primary objective of the department is to prepare students for careers as professional engineers. This is accomplished by offering a contemporary undergraduate program in Chemical Engineering that is duly accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board. It is the department's goal that, following a suitable work period, students may register as Professional Engineers in any province in Canada. The department also offers graduate programs in Chemical and Biological Engineering at both M.Sc./M.Eng. and Ph.D levels.

　　This research-based program will allow you to conduct original research with access to state-of-the-art facilities, research centres, and labs. Our faculty have a focus on the following research areas:

　　Biochemical engineering

　　Research in the area of biotechnology involves the studies of biodegradation, biofilms, bioreactor design, drying of spores, gasohol purification, VOC bioremediation, recombinant fermentation, and metabolic engineering and functional genomics.

　　Corrosion

　　Predictive modelling and experimental studies are underway relating to corrosion in a wide range of industrial systems.

　　Fluid mechanics

　　Multiphase pipeline flow, rheology and fluidization are at the centre of both experimental and theoretical studies of fluid mechanics

　　Reaction engineering

　　In the area of chemical reaction engineering, conversion of biomass and other waste materials to synthesis gas and value-added bioproducts, biodiesel production and utilization, alkylation and isomerization to value-added bio-products, hydrotreating of heavy gas oil, conversion of mercaptans and hydrogen sulphide on carbon catalysts, production and utilization of activated carbon and production and applications of carbon nano-tubes, the development of renewable source of energy and chemicals from biomass-derived oils under catalytic reaction conditions was studied. The role of catalysts in the abatement of gaseous pollutants from coal-fired power plants has also been examined.

　　Thermodynamics

　　The phase equilibria of industrially important systems have been studied with a view to improving existing process design. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
