Designed and proposed a hybrid waste to energy transfer station to PSF Mechanical Inc.Collaborated with other Mechanical Engineers to develop a hybrid waste to energy system. The system is designed to take municipal waste, and convert it to ethanol and electricity. Analyzed different methods of converting waste into various types of fuel and energy. Responsible for all visual aspects, including PowerPoint presentations, CAD models, and data representation. • Final Proposed… Show more Designed and proposed a hybrid waste to energy transfer station to PSF Mechanical Inc.Collaborated with other Mechanical Engineers to develop a hybrid waste to energy system. The system is designed to take municipal waste, and convert it to ethanol and electricity. Analyzed different methods of converting waste into various types of fuel and energy. Responsible for all visual aspects, including PowerPoint presentations, CAD models, and data representation. • Final Proposed system met criteria of less than 25% going into landfill, convert 100-500 tons of waste per day into energy, and reduce emissions.• Formally presented monthly updates of project progress to advisors and liaisons.
