LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE
CAPSTONEPROJECT October2015-April 2016
 Designed atheoretical chemical plantthatwouldproduce diphenyl carbonate (DPC) withoutusing
phosgene, whichisavery dangerous compound. The process involved writingbasicmassand
energybalancesandblockflowdiagrams,determiningthe kineticsof the reactionandrunning
simulations,andeventuallyfinalizingourprocessflow diagram.Inthe end,we were able to
successfullydesignachemical plantthatwouldproduce DPCwithoutphosgene thatwasboth
feasible andeconomical.
