Industry Tailored CO2 capture using alklaine wasteChalmers University of Technology
• Reducing the emission of the carbon dioxide using waste effluent from the kraft pulping industries and steel manufacturing industries. • Carbon capture capacity are studied using 3D printed bubble column reactor and characterisation using XRD, FTIR and SEM analysis
2
Design of Chemical Process plant for the Methyl Ethyl Ketone ProductionChalmers University of Technology
• Designing of process plant for the production of MEK from butanol using Aspen HYSYS. • After Designing with Aspen HYSYS , Aspen energy analyzer was used to design the heat exchanger network for maximum energy recovery and utility management. • With MER network, process optimisation was done using Aspen HYSYS. • After design phase, estimation of the investment cost of the plant was calculated.
3
Choice of Linoleum Seed Oil supplier for Linoleum FlooringChalmers University of Technology
The main objective is to choose the linoleum seed supplier for linoleum flooring. • Calculated the environmental Impacts of the each of the raw material from production to transportation. • Cradle to gate approach.
4
Design of Selective Catalytic Reactor system for power plant exhaust gas treatmentChalmers University of Technology
The main Objective is to reduce the Ammonia slippage and increase the conversion of the NOx. • Designed the SCR reactor in the workbench. • Simulation is done using Ansys Fluent to increase the NOx for different production capacity.
