February, 05 2025 - Verified by Georgia Institute of Technology- Supporting ongoing capital projects for the refinery and chemical plant by assisting with Management of Change (MOC), piping design, hazard screening assessments, and technical documentation
- Collaborating cross-functionally with Operations, Process Engineering, PEI, and Process Safety to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient project execution
- Conducting field walks to evaluate units and identify piping design strategies, tie-in locations, and constructability options
Project: Integrating Zeolite Absorption with Electrodialysis for Energy-Efficient Ammonium Recovery from Wastewater
- Testing the ability of zeolites to selectively absorb ammonium from dilute solutions and evaluating their regeneration performance
- Comparing energy consumption in standalone electrodialysis and zeolite electrodialysis systems
- Assessing how zeolite absorption affects overall electrodialysis performance
Project: Microwave-Assisted Thermocatalytic Decomposition of Nonbiodegradable Waste Plastics into Hydrogen
- Set up and operated both fixed and fluidized bed reactor systems in Cecilia lab to optimize the process of thermocatalytically converting waste plastic to hydrogen gas and carbon nanotubes
- Synthesized, regenerated, and tested the efficiency of different catalysts in the conversion process
- Analyzed experimental gas data using a GC-MS, looking specifically for hydrogen gas yield and mass balance calculation
- Achieved >90% hydrogen gas yield via fixed bed system (batch process)
- Successfully ran fluidized bed system (continuous process) at a 500g/day scale with consistent hydrogen yield
