During my 5 years at SimSci, I progressed from doing 6 months of technical support when I arrived to being the in house distillation expert when I left. I wrote the Chemdist chemicals distillation algorithm, which is a complex algorithm used to solved difficult distillation problems. These problems include highly non ideal thermodynamics, multiple liquid phases on the trays of the tower, and also reactive distillation. I also had the opportunity to present papers at the American Institute of Chemical Engineers Annual Meeting.
· Developed distillation algorithms for performing highly non-ideal chemical system simulations.
· Developed novel algorithms for solving two liquid phase distillation problems. These problems contain discontinuities and are very difficult to solve.
· Traveled internationally making technical presentations at chemical engineering conferences and to current and future customers.
