Key Responsibilities:
Developing, configuring and optimization of crude distillation process
Designing, documentation, running, testing, and upgrading systems and processes
Working on a research project related to crude distillation process developments involving Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Custom Modeler
Jan 2019 - Feb 2019 Zirconium Complex (ZC),
Pazhayakayal, TamilNadu, India.
Key Responsibilities:
Designed an alternative drying system for drying of Zirconium hydroxide at the Oxide production facility in order to increase production time and quality of product. Analyzed new methods of drying were and drying using microwave was suggested to the modification committee
Performed experiments on drying using a ‘domestic scale’ microwave oven. Five different quantities of wet cake were taken and heated in oven at three different RF outputs until saturation
Evaluated quantity of final moisture content, ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulphate 2
Researched drying of wet zirconium hydroxide cake using microwave oven without any addition of Sulfuric Acid during precipitation
Achievements:
Submitted a detailed technical report with extensive literature survey on Microwave drying comprising design parameters and technical information
Assisted in the removal ammonium nitrate and sulphate and brought down operational and maintenance cost by reducing a three unit operational process to a single unit
Met with potential vendors for small scale installation of dryer May 2016 - June 2016 Nuclear Fuel Complex (NFC),
Hyderabad, India.
Key Responsibilities:
Kroll’s Reduction Unit
Designed a new cooling system for specific scaling up for production of 750 kilograms Zirconium Sponge to 1.5 tons
Structured a new experimental insitu cooling system by installing thermocouples and monitoring temperature inside furnace and handling of PLC controller
Assessed and studied temperature gradient within the reduction unit and PLC data were noted
Led a presentation team of interns that presented findings to engineers at Zirconium Complex (a unit of NFC) at Pazhayakayal, TamilNadu, India on 1.5 ton batch cooling system Scrubbing Unit
Designed a new scrubbing system for the HCl gas to meet exhaust standards set by the Pollution Control Board
Coordinated with interns to collect inlet and exit gas concentration of existing spray column and design of a packed column was suggested to executive committee
Met with potential clients to discuss project requirements Achievements
Met with clients expectation by designing apt packing in bed and packed column
The design along with main equipment was approved by regulatory authority
A drastic increase in production set a new record of highest production of zirconium sponge in a year May 2015 - June 2015 Nuclear Fuel Complex (NFC),
Hyderabad, India.
Key Responsibilities

(HEU)
Collected data samples from exhaust of the HEU and sieve analysis was performed
Lab analysis was performed on chemical composition of collected samples
Report was submitted to the modification committee 3
MASTERS PROJECT
Feb 2018 - Nov 2018 A new 2D isorisque map of atmospheric corrosion of exposed metal structures
Key Responsibilities:
A risk assessment method Fr 13 has been used to predict pitting corrosion of the Statue of Liberty with copper being exposed to the environment
Initiation of failure due to pitting owing to stochastic implication were never considered. Fr 13 included those unwanted fluctuations in order to quantify risk
A unit operation model relating pitting of copper and parameters influencing pitting was formulated
Isorisques were devised using @Risk to represent point of constant failure. Those isorisques were used to develop a 2D contour implying rate of pitting of the Statue of liberty with height PART TIME EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
