•Promote a “Safety First” world class culture at the plant •Manage process improvements utilizing control systems (Allen Bradley Programmable Logic Controllers, PLC) to increase efficiency and decrease plant operating cost while maintaining customer product specifications •Assist in commissioning and start-up of plant projects (example: quick start up of an alternate fuel system for a dryer in order to save $20k month on fuel) •Investigate the feasibility of energy efficiency tests on processes (examples include switching over from fan dampers to variable fan drives and calculating the return on investment for such projects)

Overview of project is to examine and evaluate the effects and kinetics of wet oxidation pretreatment on wheat straw for ethanol fuel productionWorked and operated a pressured reactor in a laboratory environmental with little supervision Compared different literature kinetic models and proposed a different approach to solve the empirical kinetic model of the delignification reaction which involves solving differential equations Managed, proposed and designed a secondary reactor in order to obtain more accurate results that could potentially mimic industrial delignification towersNext stage of the project is to implement the solved empirical and mechanistic kinetic model into Aspen simulation to in order to perform techno-economical analysis of biorefinery process

Coordinated and managed the decommission of a UV pilot scale reactor and was responsible for returning the UV reactor before deadlineDeveloped the cross-type chemical diffuser and sodium hypochlorite system standards for Metro Vancouver and the standards were under review by senior engineer before co-op expiration dateCommented, coordinated and compiled the 60% P&ID drawings within a week from all the different departments and sent back to contractor to avoid delaysResearched and recommended the potential underdeveloped electrical vehicles for satisfying project’s LEED requirement

Conducted slag dust particulate testing under high wind situations that were causing air pollution problems in ThompsonAnalyzed data and complied an air pollution report on the smelter’s sulphur gas emission and determined the months that are most sensitive to sulphur gas exceedanceMonitored sulphur gas emission by the smelter and made sure that sulphur readings in the city was within Canada’s air pollution regulationsCommunicated and provided accurate sulphur gas readings to operators in different locations of the city when there was a potential exceedanceAssisted supervisor to investigate and analyze the data of inconsistent nickel matte grade
