Performed wet analytical chemical techniques such as Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) test, pH and Acid Neutralizing Capacity (ANC) test using auto-titrator to support research and improve data set for the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest Project

Followed SOPs, recorded data, assisted in investigating deviated & invalid results and prepared final reports and documents

Assisted with preparation of buffers, reagents, standards and performed instrument calibration

QC Analyst and Process Engineering (Internship) at L.N. Chemical Industries, Mumbai, India Jul 2015 - Aug 2015

Followed standard operating procedure and batch records to perform batch processes in the manufacturing department

Performed quality control testing of the raw material, intermediate and finished products, R&D samples

Performed physical and chemical tests such as solid content, amine value, calcium chelation and acid value test and provided the results to operations and Quality Control management for continuous improvement

Assembled experimental setups for preparing dye fixing agents under supervision of R&D Manager

Process Engineering (Internship) at Sandoz Pvt. Ltd, Mumbai, India May 2013 - Jul 2013

Performed root cause analysis for the loss of toluene in solvent recovery plant and optimized the process

Performed troubleshooting to reduce the batch time and suggested change in chemistry and modification of the system

Designed distillation column to recycle methanol water mixture to reduce cost of operation and resources in the API unit

Studied and applied HPLC and KF techniques on the product samples for pilot plant

Worked closely with multiple disciplines, including manufacturing, quality assurance and maintenance

Research Intern – Industrial Water treatment at Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai, India May 2012 – Jul 2012

Performed hydrodynamic cavitation on water samples at increasing pressure & flow rate to achieve microbial disinfection

Conducted Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Colony Formation Unit (CFU) test analysis on treated water samples

Prepared microbiological media for Colony Formation Unit (CFU) analysis to promote growth and estimated the of number of colonies of bacteria in the treated water sample and operated autoclave for proper sterilization and disposal of waste

Achieved 60% COD degradation in treated water samples by using hydrodynamic cavitation method

ACADEMIC PROJECTS:

Advanced Chemical Engineering Design, Masters Final Project – Sulfuric Acid Plant Aug 2015 - Dec 2015

Designed a plant to manufacture 1000 TPD of Sulfuric Acid using Contact process in a continuous mode

Developed PFD, design & sizing of equipment, pumps and valves, cost analysis and process safety aspect of the plant

Designed catalytic bed reactor, drying column, gas absorbers and heat exchangers in detail

Principles and Design in Air Pollution Control – Control of Air Pollution in a PVC plant Nov 2015 - Dec 2015

Prepared a project on controlling air pollutants by elimination of VOCs and dust particles in a poly-vinyl chloride (PVC) plant

Analysed two routes in detail, first, incinerator followed by cyclone and second, incinerator followed by a baghouse

Performed detailed design calculations for VOC and dust removal efficiency and cost analysis and determined that incinerator followed by cyclone was more efficient

Green Engineering – Acetic Acid Plant Oct 2014 - Dec 2014

Evaluated the two routes: Cativa & Showa Denko for the production of acetic acid to determine the greener route

Examined the factors such as environmental indices, types of exposures, emissions & economic analysis in detail

Prioritized the environmental factors & concluded that the Cativa process was the greener process
