Subject Matter Expert for Thermodynamics and Physical Properties for DS Simulation Process Development and Experimental Methods and Data Aiming to establish an advanced portfolio of lab experimentation facilities for complex behaving samples.
Provision of essential data, models and concepts for development and operations over the entire value chain ranging from sub-surface upstream to downstream chemicals and refining. Process simulation support to various businesses, such as Gas to Liquids (GTL), upstream processes, chemical gas treating (CO2 capture and H2S removal), chemicals, refining with varios flow sheeting tools (Aspen Plus, ProII, Unisim Design). Modelling of complex mixtures (thermodynamics including polymers and electrolytes, equilibrium chemistry and reaction rates) as a basis for process models. Computer aided entrainer and solvent screening for high selectivity, high recovery and low cost separation processes. Development of new process concepts for economic evaluation. Development of estimation techniques for accurate prediction of properties (thermophysical, chemical, transport). Laboratory experimental data management.
