Constructing and Operating a Methanol Production Plant. (Senior Design Project, 2021-2022)

Project achievements:

• Achieved posable significant profits by fulfilling the growing demand of methanol (with 30% profit rate of return).
• Utilized the abundant resource of natural gas in Qatar to enhance Qatar’s economic growth, to work toward satisfying Qatar's 2030 vision.
• Designed the largest methanol production plant in Qatar with a capacity of 1.5 MMTA.
• Applied heat integration that resulted in total elimination of needed heating utility in the plant, reduction of the plant cooling utility by 27%, reduction of the heat exchangers area in the plant by 46%, and overall 44% capital cost reduction.
• Used sustainable advanced technology (ATR, autothermal reforming technology) that has minimum environmental footprint ( eliminated Nox and Sox emissions).

Application of PRO (Pressure Restarted Osmosis) Technology on Industrial Production Plants for Blue Energy Generation. (Poster Competition, Qatar University Abhathi event 2022)

Project achievements:

• Utilization of chemical plant waste water.
• Reduction of environmental footprint of discharging brine.
