Established in 2013 and NBA accredited till 30 June 2028, the Department of Chemical Engineering combines classical chemical engineering with Artificial Intelligence, sustainability and Industry 4.0. 11 faculty members, 9 core laboratories, a FIST-funded lab, a Kerala State Pollution Control Board Grade-B Water & Wastewater Analysis Laboratory, and industry MoUs with KMML and SynergenOG — preparing engineers for pharmaceutical, petrochemical, environmental, energy and process industries.
The Department of Chemical Engineering at Amal Jyothi College of Engineering (Autonomous), established in 2013, has consistently focused on academic excellence, research, innovation and industry-oriented learning. The four-year B.Tech programme provides strong fundamentals in material & energy balance, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, transport phenomena, reaction engineering, process control and plant design — integrated with emerging areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, process simulation, sustainability and Industry 4.0.
The department is supported by 11 faculty members and 3 laboratory staff. Industry MoUs with Kerala Minerals and Metals Ltd. (KMML), Kollam and SynergenOG (December 2025) strengthen internship and consultancy opportunities, and the IIChE Students' Chapter provides regular technical events, seminars and industry networking.
Specialisation TracksCore chemical engineering — unit operations, mass & heat transfer, reaction engineering, thermodynamics and process control. Hands-on lab work with pilot-scale equipment, DWSIM and open-source process simulation tools, and full plant-design capstone projects in Year 4.
Active research in nanocomposites, thin-film deposition, polymer nanomaterials, photocatalytic membrane reactors and smart materials for energy applications. Students participate in faculty-led research projects that regularly publish at national conferences.
Petrochemical processing, refining technology, alternative energy (biofuels, fuel cells, hydrogen), process intensification, and energy-efficient design. Exposure through industrial visits to refineries and petrochemical complexes.
