Designed, simulated and optimised a complete plant design for the production of acryclic acid with raw materials on ASPEN HYSYS and MATLAB. Successfully tuned the plant for optimal performance with minimum cost and robustness to raw material stream fluctuations.
Studied the control characteristics of a process with temperature scaling. Tuned the parameters using PID tuning on MATLAB.
Studied the control characteristics of the centrifugal pump system. Derived the transfer function for flow rate and discharge pressure from the response of a step change in RPM and verified the same by further experimentation. Also, calculated the optimum RPM operation point for the Pump setup.
