Total years of experience :1 years, 11 Months
-Performed detailed work on, Steam Consumption and Optimization of the polyester manufacturing process
-Developed Process Instrumentation Diagrams
-Documented the economic cost of steam consumption
-Presented methods of reducing steam costs to the management for further evaluation by providing thorough responses
-Achieved a reduction of $2.5 per day of steam cost contributing to operational improvement
-Suggested the use of glass wool material instead of calcium silicate steam pipeline for better insulation which was later appreciated by the management
-Demonstrated leadership by collaborating with team members and management to improve proper flow of communication to achieve most effective work result
- Performed an extensive study of the Cement Manufacturing Process.
-Studied the operations of major cement manufacturing equipment: Raw Mill and Kiln
-Prepared equipment data sheet of major cement manufacturing equipment
-Worked extensively with Health and Safety Department to learn about safety management procedures
-Evaluated and provided recommendations for improvement in safety procedures
-Exhibited high level of written and oral communication during project technical documentation and presentation
Projects: Enhanced Oil Recovery, Interfacial Phenomena University of Waterloo, Waterloo ON -Examined various enhanced oil recovery procedures, contact angle phenomena and surface tension -Investigated the application of contact angle in spreading and adhesion in Oil/Brine/Solid systems -Concluded that changes on the salinity of the reservoir can cause changes in the contact angle of the flooded area Petroleum Waste Water Treatment, Industrial Waste Water Management University of Waterloo, Waterloo ON -Conducted comparative analysis of the efficiency of Catalytic Vacuum Distillation to electrochemical and Micro-wave assisted methods of Petroleum Waste Water. -Investigated various experiments such as Chemical Oxygen Demand testing, electrolyte conductivity and pH values -Compared the efficiency of the different treatment processes using the above mentioned parameters -Observed Catalytic vacuum distillation to be the most efficient process with highest amount of COD removal (99%) under pH 6-7
