Abstract
Chemical engineering originated from the chemical industry. Being chemical, the chemical industry, in the early days, employed chemists, expecting them to turn what were possible in the chemical laboratory into chemical plants and to operate these chemical plants profitably. Trained in chemistry as a scientist, the chemist was faced in the chemical plants with many problems which were not chemical at all though highly significant for the success of the plants. He had to add to his original knowledge base such relevant know-how as, for instance, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, the skills of building scaffolding for equipment and for connecting equipment with pipes, etc. Such hybrid expert was the prime technologist in the early-day chemical industry.
