AIChE Design Project Spring 2023: Closing critical gaps to enable a circular economy of plastics
(4/28/2023)The purpose of this project is to have an efficient and cost-effective method of eliminating plastic waste. One of these methods is turning the plastic waste into ethylene. By pyrolyzing the plastic and purifying the ... -
AIChE design project: Abbasi Fuel Refinery retrofit
(2021-04-28)In this thesis, my group and I are describing a refinery concept we have designed for a Mr. Abbasi in the Middle East. Amidst changing purity standards in fuel being produced in the Middle East, Mr. Abbasi is concerned ... -
AIChE design project: Grassroots Nylon 6 6 plant
(2017-03-09)A preliminary design of a Nylon 6 6 plant to produce granules by extrusion was conducted for Calvert City, Kentucky. This process involves a reaction between adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine (HMDA) through a continuous ... -
AIChE National Design Competition: Closing critical gaps to enable a circular plastics economy
(4/18/2023)Global Petrochemicals and AIChE requested the design, optimization, and economic evaluation of a PyOil purification plant and recommendations for improvement of a sorting facility in Bali as well as recommendations to ... -
AIChE National Student Design Competition Spring 2021: Naphtha catalytic reforming process, Group 1738
(2021-04-28)This report was produced as a part of the national AIChE design competition. We produced the preliminary design step, economic analysis, and safety analysis of a naphtha catalytic reformer. -
AIChE National Student Design Competition: Modular distributed ammonia synthesis, Group 14
(2020-05-04)Anhydrous ammonia production through eco-conscious production methods was the driving force behind this project. Another important factor of the design was to locate it within the Midwest to lower transportation costs and ... -
AIChE National Student Design Competition: Modular distributed ammonia synthesis, Group 2
(2020-05-04)In the United States ammonia is primarily produced along the Gulf Coast due to the availability of cheap, abundant natural gas. However, the majority of the ammonia is used for fertilizer and shipped to agricultural regions. ... -
AIChE National Student Design Competition: Modular distributed ammonia synthesis, Group 9
(2020-05-04)The preliminary design of an anhydrous ammonia plant was performed. In the United States, the Corn Belt is the largest consumer of anhydrous ammonia fertilizer, yet the Corn Belt obtains most of its fertilizer from the ... -
AIChE Student Design Competition: Fixed bed continuous catalytic reformer
(2021-04-16)For the AIChE student design competition, a study estimate for a fixed bed continuous catalytic reformer was completed for a small toppings refinery in Kurdistan. The goal of the design was to upgrade the heavier naphtha ... -
AIChE Student Design Competition: Manufacturing facility for nylon 6,6
(2017-03-09)The purpose of this project was to develop a preliminary design of a grassroots plant for the production of nylon 6,6 near Calvert City, Kentucky. The yearly production rate of nylon 6,6 was specified at 85 MM lbm/yr. Nylon ... -
AIChE Student Design Competition: Toppings refinery retrofit, Kirkuk, Iraq
(2021-04-26)The design report is based on the project presented by AIChE working on designing a Toppings Refinery Retrofit in Kirkuk, Iraq. The preliminary design includes a simulation which will internally expand the toppings refinery. ... -
