Overview:

• Under the supervision of Stantec and Dalhousie University, my team and I designed three co-aligned plants: water treatment, wastewater treatment, and green hydrogen. This project included weekly team meetings with senior Stantec representatives and Dalhousie University professors.

Project Phases:

Background Information

• Conducted a comprehensive literature review of modern electrolyses technologies and processes
• Gained critical knowledge to select the most suitable machinery and proceed with plant design
• Investigated alternatives to common technologies to identify opportunities for cost reduction and process simplification

Design Requirements

• Analyzed project constraints and developed strategies to overcome them
• Selected optimal designs for the machinery, overall plant layout, and surrounding equipment
• Focused on material selection to mitigate corrosion and erosion, aiming to minimize maintenance costs and ensure longevity
• Produced several flow assurance analyses to ensure proper flow measurements
• Constructed rough drafts of Process Flow and Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams for the different plants (PFD's and P&ID's, respectively)

Final Design Presented

• Sized and finalized all required components, including piping, reactors, and filtration systems
• Performed flow assurance analysis using Aspen HYSYS and Microsoft Excel
• Delivered the final copy of key deliverables on the given deadlines: PFD and P&ID diagrams, Final report, Dedicated sections on safety and sustainability to ensure designs met industry guidelines and standards,
• Designed cost-effective solutions for a variety of clients while adhering to strict safety regulations.
• Presented findings from engineering research at conferences and workshops, showcasing expertise and advancing knowledge within the field.
• Conducted a thorough economic analysis to optimize costs and ensure economic feasibility
• Utilized a software on Microsoft Excel named “CAPCOST” to evaluate the most cost-effective solutions

• Managed daily startup operations to ensure smooth workflow
• Processed money orders by facilitating customer transactions and transferring funds to specified businesses or individuals
• Received and organized incoming packages in designated containers for driver pickups
• Distributed packages to customers after verifying identification and proof of ownership
• Enhanced customer communication to ensure a positive service experience
• Resolved customer complaints with empathy, resulting in increased loyalty and repeat business
• Exhibited high energy and professionalism when dealing with clients and staff
• Educated customers about billing, payment processing and support policies and procedures
• Provided customer care by responding to requests, assisting with product selection and handling ordering functions
