Senior Design I & II – Chemical Engineer
Designed industrial scale production of TDI through novel process of gas-phase phosgenation of TDA
Addressed market forecast to determine future growth and profitability
Estimated plant costs and analyzed health, safety and environmental concerns
Generated process design using simulation software AspenPlus V8.8 and P&ID using Visio
Created and presented proposal to faculty and answered questions and concerns on overall process
Acetone Plant Design Costing and Profitability Team Project
Executed Turton’s method of costing to determine Capital and Manufacturing costs of a chemical plant
Calculated Economics and Profitability through economic analysis, determining the plant’s feasibility
Originated plant’s peak profitability with break-even point and internal return on investment
Preliminary Distillation Column Team Design
Devised technical and economical analysis for the design and optimization of a distillation column
Utilized MATLAB to complete optimization algorithm based from the Ponchon-Savarit and Mccabe Thiele methods
Computed parametric study to investigate the effects on certain distillation column variables and overall cost of construction
Strengthened proposal by validating distillation design with simulation using AspenPlus V8.8
Chemical Process Plant Control Team Project
Revised Process Flow Diagram of a chemical manufacturing process to include advanced controls, specifying all control and manipulated variables among valve type and controller action (PFID)
Analyzed dynamic data of control variables and developed transfer functions using Simulink to model process, identifying any disturbances
Developed dynamic models into single loop control settings for PI controllers and commercial PID controllers and validated models against experimental data
Preliminary Pipeline Design Team Project
Planned temporary pipeline to transport fuel from railway cart to storage drum
Examined environmental and safety considerations on pipeline’s route
Optimized pipeline’s diameter based on capital and manufacturing costs
