Real Marta Robot Simulation Marta Robot EXPERIENCE Research Assistant EXPERIENCE Process Engineer 2017 May -Aug 2017 May-August Research Assistant Laboratory of Green Chemistry (LUT), Mikkeli Finland Project title: Development and optimization of Nano-catalysts for biodiesel production Importance of the project Biodiesel is a promising alternating environmentally benign fuel to mineral diesel made from renewable sources and waste lipids. Nano-catalysts with high specific surface area and high catalytic activity can be used to overcome the problems associated with conventional heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts. Materials used Rapeseed oil, lard oil and used vegetable oil Nano-catalysts: TiO2, CaO, ZnO, MgO doped with LiOH and Ce-Fe doped with KOH, Ni-Al-Cu Nitrates with NaBH4 Analysis techniques used Main analysis method: GC-MS Other analysis methods: FTIR, BET, XRD, Density, Viscosity, SEM, NMR Results Rapeseed oil showed the best results with CaO when it was doped with 75% of LiOH Lard oil worked the best with Ce-Fe doped with 0.5 KOH The oils used to show the best results when some basic properties are introduced to the nano-catalysts. 2016 Jan-Aug 2016 Jan-Aug Process Engineer Nestle Involved in production, reviewing processes, planning and performing trials to ensure processes operate as designed and to implement improvements to existing processes with due regard for safety, environmental and quality factors. Projects Optimizing the UHT mixing operation of a tetra pack beverage process to examine the technical suitability, operability and cost-efficiency. DMAIC project for resolving the issue of using high-concentrated chemicals during CIP-cleaning process by operators, due to the absence of a well-designed automated system. Learning Advanced my knowledge about the wider engineering issues surrounding production and optimum business efficiency. To use engineering principles and theories combined with a practical realization of the limits imposed by industrial conditions when revising existing processes.
