INTRODUCTION  [RESEARCH AIMS]  [CURRENT ACTIVITIES]

 

The Research Center for Petrochemical Industry was established in November, 1997 as an independent research unit under the College of Engineering.  Petrochemical industry is important to the economic progress in Taiwan.  Research and Improvement on the manufacturing processes for cleaner production, energy conservation and pollution prevention are the main objectives of this research center.          This research center has close relationship with the Department of Chemical Engineering and other units of the University.

 

RESEARCH AIMS   1. Cooperate with other units of the University for integrated researches and establish a consulting team for industrial development.    2. Establish experimental laboratories and computation facilities for petrochemical related researches.    3. Promote basic and applied researches for petrochemical and related industries and educate future human resources.    4. Collaborate with foreign research institutes and support information for the future energy policy.
