Education

B.S Chemical Engineering

University of Arkansas- Fayetteville, AR

GPA: 3.33; Chancellor’s List 2013

Academic Project Experience

Project Title: Ethylene Oxide Plant Scale-Up & Optimization Objective: Diagnose the potential causes of operating problems within the plant and provide recommendations as to how much scale-up is possible, yet remaining economically feasible

• Worked on a team of 6

• Calculated the revenue/income after optimizing and scaling up the process; this included the compressed air costs, and mass differences for the optimized and scaled-up process

• Conducted a pinch point analysis for the improved heat exchanger network

• Generated an updated process flow diagram for the new process using ChemCAD

• Completed a written report detailing the information above, as well as delivering a presentation in front of the professor and related faculty

Project Title: Methanol/Natural Gas Distillation

Objective: Extract natural gas while keeping the exiting methanol concentration below a specified threshold. Determine if creating a recycle methanol stream is more cost effective than deep well injecting methanol.

• Created a process flow diagram for both processes

• Determined the specifications for the necessary equipment and calculated the equipment and utility costs of both scenarios

• Performed mass and energy balances for each piece of equipment involved

• Calculated the NPW on a 10 year plan and the FCI for the process Professional Experience
