Process Design of Conversion of Wood Pellets into Dimethyl Ether (Fall 2016)

Designed a process to convert wood pellets into DME using General Electric gasifier.

Used kinetics to size the gasifier and synthesis reactor in the design

Designed a Heat Exchange Network to maximize efficiency of the process

Performed economic analysis to determine the financial costs of the project and its feasibility Analysis of Fluidized/Packed Bed Performance (Spring 2016)

Measured the pressure drop vs flow rate in a backed bed with various particle sizes and densities and used to Ergun equation to compare results to theory.

Performed similar analysis on a fluidized bed to determine minimum fluidization velocity Design of Control System for a Binary Distillation Column (Spring 2016)

Designed feedback and feedforward PID controllers to account for variations in feed flow rate and concentration and make distillate and bottoms meet spec and maximize recovery

Created a P&ID for the process
