Bangalore

Comprehensive studies on Integrated operations in Upstream Oil and Gas offshore platform are conducted and key solutions needs and enhancements are identifiedDeveloped models and carried out design optimization studies of solar desalination configurations.Developed energy assessment tools for thermal and membrane desalination plants.

Bangalore

Worked on developing a library of models in gPROMS environment for changeover application in P&GDeveloped a model library for pneumatic conveying of solids in IDEAS. Developed a model for vacuum system connected to dryers in paper industries.Worked on simulation for Hydrogen production using ASPEN PLUS for trouble shooting the problems in the operation of the plant.

Worked as a model developer for Dynsim Engineering Suit.

Worked on Purification of biogasses to produce high quality hydrogen for fuel cell applications. The percentage of CO, which is detrimental for the fuel cell catalyst has to be reduced in biogasses to as much as 10ppm. This is carried out in a novel Cyclic Water Gas Shift Reactor.

Worked on Modeling and Nonlinear analysis of chemical and biological reactor separator systems
