DESIGN PROJECTS

Raw Crude Distillation Tower: Designed a raw crude distillation column using Pro/II as a menas of computer simulation analysis. Also provided cost analysis data to estimate the cost of production and revenue created over a 20 year period

Centrifugal Extractor: Measured the differences in seperation of acid in kerosine by testing rotor speed and flow rate input into a centrifugal contactor to measure contact time of seperation. Titration was used as a means of measuring acid concentrations.

Bioreactor Stir Tanks: Analyzed most favorable growing conditions for the propagation of E. coli under the different consideration of temperature, pH, aerobic vs anaerobic growth, and oxygenation rate
