University Projects

Design Project: De-Ethanizer and Reboiler Design

The purpose of this project was to design a natural gas processing plant to be constructed on a floating

barge. Labour costs in countries like South Korea are an attractive option. The plant can be constructed in a country

with low labour costs, then easily transported to the site location, where it can be anchored on the coast and gas from

nearby reserves can be processed and transported through domestic gas land pipelines. I designed the deethanizer

for the plant, and the reboiler for the condensate stabilizer column. It was not viable to have propane and butane in

either of the two products produced by the plant, the sales gas and condensate. Thus, the purpose of the deethanizer

was to separate the ethane and methane along with a small fraction of propane as sales gas. This project covered all

aspects of design such as site selection, market analysis, process design, process drawings, safety analysis, control

systems, mechanical considerations and presentation.

Research Project: Modelling of Heat Transfer Rate of Hydrate Formation Temperature in a

Gas/Liquid system

The purpose of this report was to develop a mathematical model to predict the heat transfer rate within the

liquid and gaseous phases during hydrate formation along an offshore pipeline system conveying natural gas. The

model was based on an experimental apparatus but should be transferable to an offshore pipeline. The aim was that

this developed model would be accurate enough to be used as a reference for the industry. The equations describing

the heat transfer of the system were successfully derived based on heat and mass transfer theory. The equations still

need to be tested and solved in MATLAB, which will be performed by other students in 2013.

Control Design of a Distillation Column

The purpose of this project was to design single-input-single-output (SISO) controllers for controlling the

top and bottom composition of a distillation column. The requirements were that the product purity (top) was above

85% and that the impurity composition in the bottom stream was less than 2.5% over a range of external disturbances.

Also, the control system had to be able to handle a set-point change to meet future

requirements of an impurity composition less than 1.5% in the bottom stream. Tuning objectives included reducing

settling time, maintaining stability, reducing overshoot and decreasing decay ratio. Tuning was complex due to the top

and bottom controllers influencing each other. The final tuning parameters were chosen based on disturbance

rejection, since the conclusion was made that disturbance rejection was the priority over set-point tracking.

Distillation Column Design (Group)

The purpose of this project was to design a distillation system to separate isoprene and 3-methyl-1-butene.

Desired purities were given, as well as annual requirements. My responsibilities in this project included the selection of

the type of column, type of plates, column sizing (inner features and outer features), column pressure drop, column

operating conditions, condenser and reboiler heat duties, and optimum diameters for entering and exiting piping.

Column sizing was done based on downcomer flooding avoidance. The other group member’s responsibilities were

material selection, costs and heat exchangers which I provided assistance with.

Oil Pipeline Heat Transfer

The aim of this project was to explore the effects of heat transfer in an oil pipeline and its influence on the

formation of solids on the surface. The objective was to determine the thickness of a wax deposit on the inner surface

of a pipeline that connects an offshore oil production platform to an on shore refinery. The pipeline transported waxy

crude oil. Different methods were explored to reduce the thickness of the wax deposit. These included adding

insulation to the outside of the pipeline, increasing the flow rate, and increasing the inlet temperature of the crude oil.

Continuous Stirred-Tank Reactor (CSTR) Design (Group)

The purpose of this project was to design an isothermal CSTR reactor (pilot scale) for polymer production.

The rate constant, operating conditions, required conversion, desired concentrations and production rate were given.

This information was used to size the reactor. My responsibilities were the sizing of the reactor and the surrounding

piping, and the technical drawings using AutoCad.

Transient temperature Analysis (Group)

The purpose of this project was to use Matlab to model the unsteady state temperature variation in a

Page 1

polymer that has been placed in a thermo-mechanical compression test apparatus (TCTA), which is used to measure

the softening point of a polymer. The purpose was to determine whether or not the sample temperature of the polymer

was the same as the temperature of the base plate (i.e. whether or not the softening point reading was accurate). The

analysis consisted of separating the polymer sample into temperature nodes. A transient analysis was performed and

transient nodal temperature equations were derived. Numerical calculations of nodal temperatures were performed

using Matlab. The following methods were used in Matlab: Euler’s method, an ODE solving function, and an adaptive

method.

Waste water recycling (Group)

This project was for the 2010 EWB challenge. A simple grey water system for the Kooma people was

designed. The aim was to reduce water usage at the Kooma community site. The system recycles washing machine

and sink water from a laundry to be used for irrigation. Water from the washing machine and sink exits through a

piping system through the wall to the outside of the building. The pipe then leads to a 55 gallon recycled drum which is

partially submerged in the ground to take advantage of the already manufactured holes in the top of the drum. A rotary

hand pump is used to pump water to the desired location using a hose attachment, or the water can be manually

carried to the location in a bucket. The design was chosen due to constraints in the area. Garden locations requiring

water were scattered, making it impossible to use gravity for water transport. Since no power could be supplied, the

transport of water had to be manual. Costs, maintenance, cultural aspects, environmental aspects efficiency and

lifespan are examples of some of the aspects considered. The project required a written report and an oral

presentation. This improved my report writing skills, and my oral presentation skills. My group re ceived an award for

the best overall presentation of the project. This covers both the report presentation and oral presentation.
