Write the final report on given topic or project.
Topic: The analysis of the Nitric Acid Absorption Column
As the research chemical engineer in charge of this project, I was tasked with the following roles and responsibilities.
- Detailed study of the nitric acid production plant sections (gas mixing, nitric oxide oxidation, ammonia oxidation, tail gas treatment and absorption)
- Derivation of system requirements and specifications of the various components of the absorption column
- Design of the nitric acid absorption column, considering the materials for the structure, feed rate and control mechanism
- Simulation of the absorption process in a suitable computer platform such as ASPEN or MATLAB and theoretical column characterization from this model
- Construction of column parts, interconnection, piping and assembly of a prototype column with least costs
- Safety adherence and documentation of the work undertaken.
