Internship at the Hasselby Combined Heat and Power Plant with much emphasis in the maintenance Department and the Fuel properties Monitoring. Also did a research on the Fuel efficiency by making an energy balance between Energy in Put Vs Output. My recommendations of the study led to a change in the fuel preparation leading to a 10% increase in the energy efficiency of the Fuels.
Certificate in Energy systems and Energy Carriers. A Deep look into how the various energy carriers can be harnessed to the maximum and the various processes and means by which the energy extraction is carried out. Monthly placements in Oil Well Fields, Refineries, Power Plants etc, taking deep appreciation of all the processes involved from operations to maintenance.
Extensive study into all fields of mechanical engineering, including but not limited to, Product Design, Materials engineering, Engineering Management, Occupational Health and safety, Annual Placements in the different mechanical engineering fields ( Factories and Industries) to get hands on experience of the knowledge gained in class.
