Dear maliuzair,

 

If we have learning attitude any industry is good for chemical engineer. Sugar industry also have many unit operations and many sugar industries have co gen power plant , utility plant , Effluent treatment plant. This all are very good source for learning.

 

Switching to other industries will depends on you Knowledge gain from your work and right opportunity,

Hi Maliuzair ,

To me yes , if you don't fear to confront yourself with big equipment . Very good opportunity to put in practice Chemical engineering basics.

 

I've added a link where you can get some "flavors "about the type of process in this industry.

You can find it favorable. You will involved with unit operations ( drying , crystallization, evaporation and leaching processes) and fluid mechanics, heat transfer and more issues which are the principals of chemical engineering.

So, it could be an interesting case for a chem. Engineer.

 

Thank Breizh for useful link.

 

Good luck
