- Developed technology specifications to design gas distributors, expanded bulb, etc for the reactor
- Conducted cold flow testing t high pressures to identify the parameters that affect the fluidization characteristics and entrainment issues
- Determined optimum particle size distribution for the FBR
- Designed cyclone-dipleg system for this application.
- Demonstrated a technology to continuously purge out solids from the dipleg to prevent building up of impurities in the reactor
- Assisted in developing a reliable angled eductors to feed the collected fines back to the reactor
- Selection of particle feed size distribution to achieve optimal reactant conversion, particle gas contacting, stable hydrodynamics, limited unreacted solids losses
- Management of solids entrainment in high pressure, high temperature, corrosive environments with dynamically evolving particle size distribution
- Conceptual understanding of the link between feed impurities, particle cohesion, and the resulting reactor hydrodynamics and operability
- Assisted in operating both pilot and commercial reactors in a reliable fashion
