TECHNICAL PROJECTS
Capstone Project: Cogeneration for Completions (Shell Canada) Vancouver, British Columbia
Scheduler, Heat exchanger design and simulations September 2015 – April 2016
Worked with a team of 5 to design a heat exchanger system for heating water used for the completions
process. The designed system recovers heat from diesel engine exhaust gas and transfers it to the water via
shell and tube heat exchanger in order to raise the water temperature that’s appropriate for the completions
process.
The finished system design includes: manifold ducting to collect exhaust gas, a back-flow prevention valve
for each engine exhaust outlet, and a shell & tube heat exchanger specifically designed to counter soot
accumulation problem.
My roles in this project included project scheduling, and technical analysis, design and modelling of the heat
exchanger.
OTHER WORK EXPERIENCE
