At Solray Systems, I was in charge of developing a lignin extraction process. My main tasks around this development included: Valve sequencing, developing a heat transfer and production model, and designing the layout of the extraction augers with all supporting infrastructure. I successfully redesigned the cooling water system for the acetone recovery distillation columns at the plant. I implemented the redesign by assessing the materials needed, sourcing equipment, and installing the new… Show more At Solray Systems, I was in charge of developing a lignin extraction process.

At Geo40, I worked at the Northern Plant which utilizes a proprietary process that extracts silica and lithium from geothermal fluid. This plant is capable of producing 5,000 tonnes of silica per annum. Whilst working there, I used the SCADA systems to monitor and control processes, operated heavy machinery, and used my understanding of engineering principles to aid the design of the plant upgrades. In this role, I gained experience collaborating with different professionals in many areas such… Show more At Geo40, I worked at the Northern Plant which utilizes a proprietary process that extracts silica and lithium from geothermal fluid.
