RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

A. Undergraduate Thesis on ‘Study of Kailashtilla Gas Processing Plant using Neural Network’

Supervisor: Dr. Md Tanvir Sowgath,

Email: mstanvir@che.buet.ac.bd

Summary: In this research work, simulated data (such as sales gas flow rate, pressure, raw gases flow rates and input heat flow associated with a heater used after dehydration) from a detailed model of Kailashtilla gas processing plant (KGP) within HYSYS is used to develop Neural Network (NN) based model. Thereafter NN based model is trained and validated from HYSYS simulator generated data using Matlab and that framework can predict the output data (sales gas flow rate and pressure) very closely with the simulated HYSYS plant data.

B. A research work on ‘Artificial Fruit Ripening Preservatives’

Supervisor: Dr. Mohidus Samad Khan,

email: mohidus.khan@mcgill.ca

Summary: This research sheds light on the usages of different chemical compounds as artificial fruit ripening agents, their mechanisms, their effects on fruit quality, and possible health impacts to us an overview of different aspects of artificial ripening.

C. A Project on health and sanitation entitled ‘Determination of Chromium in egg and chicken feed in Bangladesh’ Jointly organized by Department of Chemical Engineering, BUET and Chemical Engineering Association, BUET.

Head of Project: Dr. Syeda Sultana Razia, Email: syedasrazia@che.buet.ac.bd

Summary: To investigate the claim that, one of the tannery industry’s by-product is used as chicken feed which contains Cr⁶⁺; students of Chemical Engineering Department have launched a project to determine the possible threats and amount of toxicity in poultry feed and in chicken. Tannery waste, ‘Shutki’(processed shaving waste) ,egg and chicken-liver were analyzed in the departmental laboratory and BCSIR.

D. Undergraduate design Project on ‘Acrylic Acid Production via the Catalytic Partial Oxidation of Propylene’.

Supervisor: Dr. M.A.A. Shoukat Choudhury, Email: shoukat@che.buet.ac.bd

Summary: The objective of this project is to design a plant which produces 100 metric tons of 99.9 mole % of acrylic acid (AA) product per day. The material and energy balance of the process has been conducted. Salient design parameters has been calculated for all the equipments while detailed design has been performed for some equipments followed by an economic analysis of the project.
