PRE-REQUISITE
TO

This course surveys the basic knowledge in the technology of assessing reservoir, mining,
refining and processing of petroleum as well as manufacture of petrochemical feedstocks. The
course also seeks to integrate knowledge of multiphase fluid flow, flow through porous media and
unit operations and processes in the overview of applications in petroleum technology. An
overview of the industrial, social and environmental impacts, as well as employment
opportunities, of the industry is also presented.

UNIVERSITY VISION
Scholars of Integrity and Excellence
The Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM), created by a National Charter (RA 4196, 1965), was envisioned to
be Manilas premier institution for higher learning. It provides superior standards of instructions, as well as
opportunities for outstanding research in technology and other areas for the development of the intellect and to
advance in human knowledge.
The Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila has adopted the policy of preferential option for the poor and therefore
has prioritized education for the underprivileged but talented students of Manila. Committed to the highest
intellectual and ethical standards. PLM strives to produce competent graduates with integrity who will be
responsible citizens who can contribute effectively to local, national and global initiatives for the progressive and
sustainable development of humanity.
Guided by the values of academic excellence, integrity and social responsibility, PLM endeavors to be one of the
leading universities in the ASEAN.
UNIVERSITY MISSION
The PLM Board of Regents, Management, Faculty, and Staff are committed:
1. To be recognized by Philippines and ASEAN academic accrediting agencies as a premier university for its
quality education, research, and extension services;
2. To insure that PLM maintains a higher than the national average performance on all professional licensure
examinations taken by its graduates;
3. To continue to provide the students with an education that will give them a competitive advantage for
employment opportunities
COLLEGE VISION
The College of Engineering and Technology will be the premier college in engineering technology education,
research and extension services.
COLLEGE MISSION
Guided by this Vision, we commit ourselves:
1. To uphold excellence to the undergraduate and graduate level through curriculum development, teaching,
relevant researches and extension services to the community.
2. To develop and nurture students to become professionally competent, community-directed and Godcentered individuals; and
3. To produce strong partnership with the industry, alumni and other stakeholders.
DEPARTMENT VISION
The Chemical Engineering (ChE) Department will be recognized as one of the leading programs in fulfilling the
Universitys mission through excellence in teaching, research and extension services.
