This document outlines a senior design project for an energy audit and cost analysis of an ammonia plant. The objectives are to understand what an energy audit is, why companies need them, and to analyze the energy efficiency and bottlenecks in Fatima Fertilizers' process. The team will collect plant data, perform calculations and simulations, analyze results, recommend improvements, and conduct a cost analysis. The timeline shows milestones from November 2020 to May 2021. Software like Excel, Polymath, AspenHysys, and MATLAB will be used, along with energy index data from Fatima. Regular communication with industry professionals is also part of the project resources and references.
