Short CV

Objective

A short summary of your research job objective: My research objective passes by the development of framework for sustainable process design under uncertainty conditions, for early-stage design or for retrofit design. This tool will be the incorporation of several methodologies with the objective of covering the three sides of the triangle of sustainability.

Current Status

Validating part of the framework through the glycerol-based biorefinery case-study.

Future 6-months Plan

For the next six months, the plan is to finish this part of the case study related with uncertainty on the enviroenmental assessment and plan to get the most of the 1st secondment.

Secondments

My first secondment will be at Qauntis where I will be in contact with an Webtool application for LCA analysis (1 month). The secondment no 2 is in EPFL for the incorporation of LCA models with process integration.

Project title : Sustainable design of biorefinery systems for biorenewables. Work packages : WP2, WP5. Supervisor name:Assoc.prof. G?rkan Sin or someone with the same level of expertise and /or experience.

Objectives:

  • To develop a framework for multi-objective and multi-criteria evaluation of biorefinery concepts under uncertainty.
  • To use proactively LCA models and sustainability indicators during early stage process design and synthesis.
  • To apply the framework for generating and evaluating optimal solutions for vegetable oil biorefinery.
Tasks and methodology:
  • Task 1 A framework for multi-objective and multi-criteria evaluation of biorefinery concepts under uncertainty.
  • Task 2 Application of LCA tool and software for generating sustainable process design
  • Case study applications
Results: A report on a framework for multi-objective multi criteria evaluation of biorefinery concepts under uncertainty, A report on application of LCA tool for sustainable process design, synthesis and integration for selected biorefinery systems, A report on optimal biorefinery concepts under several future market scenarios for vegetable oil biorefinery and lignocellulosic based biorefinery
Dissemination: 1 Manuscript as conference proceedings for ESCAPE 24 , Participation in ESCAPE24, 1 Manuscript as conference proceedings in PSE 2015/ESCAPE25, Participation in PSE2015/ESCAPE25, 1 journal manuscript in computers and chemical engineering, 1 journal manuscript industrial engineering and chemistry research
Planned secondment:
