Hydrogen Process

• UIC Engineering Expo Winner in the petrochemicals category.

• Designed and simulated a hydrogen plant using ASPEN and Visio to obtain Process Flow Diagram (PFD) and Piping and Instrumentation Diagram

(P&ID)

• Hydrogen gas process with a carbon capture unit to lower carbon dioxide emissions and sold to power fuel cell trains

• Performed simulation, market analysis, cost analysis and sizing of equipment, as well as HAZOP analysis for process control. Ethanol Process

• Team lead for a bioethanol design project

• Designed, simulated and presented a dry-milling corn process

• Utilized ASPEN process simulator to obtain process flow diagram (PFD)

• Performed energy and economic analysis

Vinyl-Chloride Process

• Analyzed the process with a group of students to make it operate efficiently and safely

• Performed pinch analysis and heat exchanger network to optimize process, as well as HAZOP analysis for process control

• Utilized Visio software to obtain PFD’s and P&ID of before and after heat integration Gas Subcooled Process Design

• Performed detailed heat and mass balances of the process which used a natural gas stream and recovered natural gas liquids.

• The process had as a target 90% of ethane recovery in the bottoms of the de-methanizer and it was carbon dioxide sensitive

• BFD and PFD were obtained from ASPEN Plus simulator.

• Capital and Operating Costs were performed

Pack Bed Reactor Design

• Coordinated with a team to design and simulate a packed bed reactor, and used multiple reaction tubes with external cooling

• Employed vanadium-phosphorous-oxide catalyst (VPO) to produce to Maleic-anhydride by selectively oxidizing butane

• Utilized polymath software to solve for multiple differential equations simultaneously Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

• Used computational tool in Excel to design the shell and tube heat exchanger to cool liquid methanol using brackish water.

• Physical properties were obtained by running a simulation in ASPEN Plus Employment History
