Please tell me what type of questions will be asked in a
petrochemical company

Answer Posted / avinash

Exactly depends on whether you have experience or fresher.If you are a fresher,then they might start from your basics like charles law,boyle's law,avogadro's law and then go on to what you did in your BE project (very important).I was asked "Define a refinery in terms of a chemical engineer?" I was also asked questions regarding IBP,FBP,API Gravity,Cetane Number,specifications for petrol and diesel in different Euro norms,Difference between hydrocracking,hydrotreating and hydro-desulfurization,how will you design a heat exchanger and then cut point for different distillates and lots other questions. But after you gain experience for a few years,they will not ask all these.What they will ask is that what things you did worthwhile while you were in the previous company,what initiatives you took on your own etc.

X is strong but has a very low density (1% of traditional earth materials.) and hence light weight. It is a recyclable material. The compression behaviour of X is strain rate dependent. Higher strain rates result in higher initial modulus and higher compression strength. It can also withstand unlimited number of cycling loading provided the repetitive loads are kept below 80% of the compressive strength. The internal structure of the material includes air-traps which make it poor heat conductor. X is non- biodegradable and chemically inert in both soil and water. Most acids and their water solutions do not attack it; however strong oxidizing acids do. Solvents which attack X include esters, ketones, ethers, aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons and their emulsions, among others. It does not support bacterial/fungal growth as well .It also has significant acoustic properties and effectively reduces the transmission of airborne sound. X is combustible and should not be exposed to open flame or other ignition sources. Combustion products are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water and soot. Long-term exposure to sunlight causes yellowing and a slight embrittlement of the surface due to ultraviolet light. X is able to withstand the rigours of temperature cycling, assuring long-term performance.
