Reimagine What’s Possible 

Data Validation and Reconciliation (DVR) of an operating plant is a powerful numerical tool allowing for gross errors to be detected and key performance indicators to be calculated. In order to support Air Products business within the Kingdom, it is proposed to apply the DVR approach to a gasification plant located at Jazan, Saudi-Arabia.

The student will carry over existing work to improve the existing model, build with ASPEN plus, to improve the capability of the model to accurately detect errors. The student will have to simulate errors and discrepancies and assess the model response. Depending on progress, the new version of the model will be tested on site.

The selected candidate will have the opportunity to leverage in the following topics:

Gasification processesModelling with the software ASPEN is a MUST (sequential modular and equation-oriented mode)Reading P&IDs, PFDs and engineering calculation notesData Validation and Reconciliation methodology and data statistical analysisCommunication skills via presentations within the Technology team based in USA, China and within the Kingdom

The candidate should have knowledge in at least one of the following:
