Mauro Torli Email & Phone Number

I earned my degree in Industrial Chemistry, where I completed a yearlong thesis on process simulation for an integrated system with six reactors and a fuel cell. This work involved a detailed investigation into reaction kinetics, utilizing comprehensive regression analysis of ethanol steam reforming kinetic models.My doctoral studies in Chemical Engineering were conducted at the Center for Energy Resources Engineering (DTU CERE), focusing on thermodynamic modeling and process simulation related to syngas fermentation into alcohol. I developed a thermodynamic model for the solubility of syngas components in polar and protic solvents and introduced a novel method for evaluating gas solubility in mixed solvents. My research also encompassed simulation and benchmarking of advanced separation technologies, such as vapor recompression, internal heat-integrated distillation, and vapor permeation. Additionally, I conducted experimental characterization of a pilot-scale bubble column under non-coalescing conditions and validated the corresponding Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model.In my professional experience outside academia, I worked as an analytical chemist at CPC, where I focused on developing preparatory procedures for techniques including HPLC-MS/MS, ICP-OES, and GC-FID analysis. I also designed an automated system for collecting and processing instrument data, which was instrumental in identifying the optimal production line for repurposing industrial waste as mineral additives in cement production. My role further included serving as a process technician in water treatment and desalination projects.Currently, I am engaged in projects related to mid-to-high temperature heat storage, utilizing thermal oil or molten salt as heat transfer fluids.Outside of my professional work, I pursue a range of interests, including mechanical drawing and design, assembling and restoring vintage road bikes, cycling, R/C car models, and various DIY projects.
