Process/ Static Equipment Design Engineer at Quality International Co. Ltd.
  • India - Chennai
  • My current job since February 2015

1.Thermal rating of all types e.g. Fixed tubesheet (AEM, BEM, NEN, AEL), Floating Head type (AES, BES, AET, BET), U tube type (AEU, BEU), exchangers with longitudinal baffle (AFT-two pass shell), BHU (double split flow), BGU (split flow), Kettle type (AKU, BKU) shell & tube exchangers using HTRI exchanger Suite Xist 7.2 (SP2)
2.Thermal rating of double pipe & multitube exchangers using Xjpe & Xhpe modules in HTRI
3.Making final thermal datasheet from process datasheet to submit to Static Equipment Engineer
4.Preparing tube layouts & baffle sketches to submit to Static Equipment Engineer.
5.Vibration analysis using TEMA Standards.
6.Analysis of Tube Vibrations & Acoustic Vibrations.
7.Use of support plates & detuning (deresonating) baffles to avoid tube vibrations & acoustic vibrations respectively.
8.Use of Double segmental baffles & NTIW (No Tube In Window design)
9.Thermal rating of single phase, two phase, condensers (steam condensers), gas-gas exchangers, thermosyphon reboilers, kettle reboilers etc. Entrainment calculations for kettle reboilers & deciding kettle diameter.
10.Thermal rating of Stacked Exchangers (in series) & parallel (dividing the shell flow) exchangers. To check if stacking is required by identifying cross in the temperatures.

2006 Class X CBSE M.C.E.E 73 TRAININGS & PROJECTS UNDERTAKEN Main Project (M.Tech) Project Title: Study of Fluidization Behaviour of Selected Materials. Description: The objective is to determine the minimum fluidization velocity and hydrodynamic characteristics for binary mixture of biomass and inert particles at different weight fractions. The experimental values of the minimum fluidization velocities will be compared with different drag models. Fluidized bed is a better candidate for thermo chemical process of biomass as well as for the industrial and chemical reactor application as it facilitates many particles of varying sizes to behave just like fluid resulting efficient mixing between solid particles and fluid. Biomass particles are difficult to fluidize because of their peculiar shapes, sizes and densities (e.g. large in sizes, low in densities and extreme in shape) . In order to improve fluidization and processing in the reactor, a second fluidization medium typically inert material (sand) has been used to facilitate fluidization. Summer Internship Project (M.Tech) Duration: 6 Weeks Company: Haldia Petrochemicals Limited, Haldia Plant Project Title: Simulation of Cooling Water Distribution in Naptha Cracking Unit Using Aspen Plus 11.1 Software. Description: Process Flow Diagram (PFD) and Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) study of Cooling Water Distribution in Naptha Cracking Unit, designing and simulation of 30 plus different types of shell and tube heat exchangers involved in the Naptha Cracking Unit manually and also using software Aspen Plus 11.1 and HTRI. Challenges faced were connecting all the heat exchangers together to get the required flow properties and to optimize the output values. Main Project (B.Tech) Duration: 12 Weeks Project Title: The Manufacture of Terephthalic Acid Description: Final year project done on the manufacture of Terephthalic Acid involving an in-depth study of the process flow sheet, Energy and Mass balances of the input and output, Design of Batch Reactors, Distillation Columns, Heat-Exchanger to maximize the output and Economic analysis of the plant. Industrial training METECNO (India) PVT.LTD Duration: 15 Days Production of urethane polymer by carrying out a reaction of amine that is generated in the gas formation reaction which reacts with more isocyanate to form a disubstituted urea cross-links the urethane polymer. Gained knowledge on different types of building products. Madras Fertilizers Limited, Chennai Duration: 11 Days Separation of granules of NPK fertilizer by screening, followed by cooling, coating and polishing of the granules and product bagging. Study of reverse osmosis plant with 3 streams of 160 m3 each. Case study of demister system at the top of the Urea Prilling Tower to reduce the quantity of entrained urea in the outlet air stream.
