• Summer Intern

  • May 2013 - Jul 2013

  Research & Development (R&D) Intern, Renewable Energy Department Performed experiments and evaluated absorption performance of different absorbent for a packed column sulfur scrubber of a pilot-scale bio gas generation facility. Optimized the process operating parameters and suggested a modified design methodology to scale up the operation to 11 m3/hr flow rate of bio gas.
