Sri Lankan Chemical Industry......


Departments of Chemical & Process Engineering, University of Moratuwa & University of Peradeniya are only resources which produce Chemical & Process Engineers to Sri Lanka. But majority of them leave country to work for other nations or some people join with  management carriers. This happen because of unawareness of Chemical & Process knowledge among entrepreneurs & people of Sri Lanka. People think chemical plants as a monsters. 

But according our knowledge even a hazardous chemicals can be produce safely if there are proper
facilities & skilled workforce. Another thing is producing chemicals can be considered as highly 
profitable process. As example when you producing sulfuric the only costly row material is Sulfur. 
Utility cost will be somewhat higher because high demand for electricity & fuels. Paranthan Chemical factory also closed because of war. It is a major place to play true chemical engineer's role.

Recently I read our one of great entrepreneur Ariyasela Wickramanayaka's article on news paper. He had told that our people waste 1250 million USD to import foreign food item. But if entrepreneurs can invest money for food industry our food engineers (minor stream in our department) can do a great job. Present Food industry in Sri Lanka is progressed very slowly because most of Food processing plant are SMEs. It is good but we need large scale entrepreneurs to be self sufficient in global scale.

There are enough intellectuals in Sri Lanka. We have great entrepreneurs & intellectuals, but there is lack of understanding between them.
