06/2013-

08/2013

Designed

and

project

managed

a

recycle-

testing

loop

that

would

be

used

for

filter

dynamic

tests

and

would

serve

for

future

in-

house

tests

on

APMT’s

patented

ACOMP

technology

Conducted

calibration

tests

on

various

pumps

and

Peroxygen

Division,

Pasadena,

TX

07/2012-

12/2012

Drew

up

process

diagrams

and

calculated

material

and

heat

balances

for

a

new

electronic

grade

hydrogen

peroxide

plant

to

be

built

at

a

different

site

Worked

on

remodeling

the

hydraulic

flow

of

the

solvent

treatment

system

to

save

on

pump

horsepower

and

improve

the

process

controls

of

the

system.

Savings

from

the

project

summed

to

$83K/year

Found

a

solution

to

inefficient

cooling

water

supply

to

heat

exchangers,

using

various

programs

such

as

ASPEN

Plus

and

SiNET.

Proposed

possible

solutions

that

would

avoid

switching

on

the

extra

cooling

water

pump,

saving

$35K/year

Worked

with

ASPEN

and

SiNET

to

design

hydraulic

piping

models,

heat

exchangers,

and

unit

operations

to

run

process

safety

simulations

and

calculations
