Item Production of 500 metric tons/day of Nitric Acid from Ammonia by Ostwald Process(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2023) Hashir Arshad, FA19-CHE-012; Abdul Manan Amjad, FA19-CHE-040; Uzair Ahmad, FA19-CHE-068; Awais Afzal Sial, FA19-CHE-088; Zeeshan Sarwar, FA19-CHE-102; LHR TP 8426; Dr. Asim Laeeq KhanThis final year project report presents a comprehensive study on the production of 500 metric tons per day of nitric acid through the implementation of Ostwald's process using ammonia as the primary feedstock. The report provides a detailed analysis of the process flow, reaction kinetics, equipment design, and optimization techniques employed to achieve the desired production capacity. Additionally, the project explores the environmental impact of the nitric acid production process and proposes innovative strategies for minimizing waste and maximizing resource efficiency. The findings of this report contribute to the understanding and advancement of industrial-scale nitric acid production, providing valuable insights for the chemical engineering community and facilitating sustainable practices within the chemical manufacturing sectorItem Gas Sweetening Unit to Sweet 200 MMSCFD of Natural Gas(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2023) Muhammad Azeem (FA19-CHE-031); Ahsan Sadiq (FA19-CHE-041); Ali Hamza (FA19-CHE-043); Ahsan Shawal (FA19-CHE-049); M Azeem Saleem (FA19-CHE-099); LHR TP 8421; Eng. Javaid AhmadIn oil and gas industry gas sweetening process is inevitable when raw natural gas contains acid gasses like H2S and CO2 removal of these acid gases is essential since their presence poses severe corrosion problem to the downstream process lines and equipment. In our project raw natural gas first goes in separator where the water content removed further gone in absorber where amine and that gas react sweet gas goes upward and collected from the top of absorber while the rich amine further process to recover all the amine to reduce operation cost. First of all, we design process flow diagram and select suitable equipment for this process. As we need to calculate different parameter apply material and energy balance on all equipment our target is 200 MMSCFD so we need to fix our mass of feed. After that design all equipment on the basis of our material and energy requirements. In every process we need to apply control loop to run process smoothly, apply control loop on every single equipment. One most important thing is cost of the plant, what is capital cost and what is operation cost? Apply cost estimation.Item Flue-Gas Treatment From The Combustion of 1.9 million Tonnes/year Coal Containing High Sulphur, Nitrogen and Carbon Contents(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2023) M. Uzair Imran (FA19-CHE-033); Mustafa Adil Asad (FA19-CHE-067); Daud Rafique (FA19-CHE-087); Jazim Hussain Khan (FA19-CHE-091); Haroon Rasheed (FA19-CHE-095); LHR TP 8420; Dr. Wajeeh-Ur-RehmanFlue gases produced by combustion of coal containing high Sulphur and nitrogen is processed and cleaned for its safe exit to the environment to reduce the adverse effects of SOx, NOx, and CO2. To do so, coal analysis of Thar (Pakistan) is done because of its high Sulphur and nitrogen content. Flue gases that leave the Combustion chamber are passed through the Selective Catalytic Reduction Reactor (SCR) where NOx reduction occurs with ammonia water and outlet of SCR goes through the heat exchangers to drop the temperature. Then it is Desulfurized in scrubber which uses lime slurry (CaCO3) for the removal of SOx. It also gives gypsum as a by-product which is by cement industry. CO2 is absorbed with Mono Ethanol Amine (MEA) in the absorber. Clean gas is set free to the environment from the top. By absorbing CO2 MEA becomes rich MEA, to make process economical rich MEA is regenerated which is done by using a stripper column. From which MEA is regenerated by boiling. CO2 from top of the column is delivered to storage and lean MEA is cooled down using a heat exchanger and cooler then sent back to the absorber.Item 100 bbl/Day Biodiesel Production From Waste Cooking Oil Using Cow Bones As Catalyst(Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2023) HUSHAM AMER CHAUDRY (FA19-CHE-015); SAROSH ALI KHOKHAR (FA19-CHE-017); HASHIM ABBASI (FA19-CHE-035); SYED SIKANDAR ALI (FA19-CHE-061); ABDULLAH BIN FARHAN (FA19-CHE-101); Dr. Shahzad KhuramThis plant design report contains the process and design feasibility for producing biodiesel at a rate of 100 bbl/day from waste cooking oil using cow bones as catalysts. The plant can fulfill the 10% of the need for diesel in demand in the city. Our biodiesel is the product of the transesterification process of waste cooking oil in the presence of Methanol and calcined cow bones as catalysts. The basis of the process is the 100 bbl/day biodiesel production. This thesis consists of a chapter on introduction, process selection and description, material balance, energy balance, equipment selection and design, instrumentation, process control, HAZOP analysis, cost estimation, and site selection. A brief process flow sheet can be seen at the beginning of the report. The general form of transesterification reaction is: (Waste Cooking Oil + Methanol) (Glycerin + Biodiesel) Reactor feed contains waste cooking oil, Methanol, and calcined cow bones at 900, ℃ are used as a catalyst to catalyze the reaction for transesterification. The overall conversion of the process is 97%. The reaction is endothermic. A heating water jacket is installed in the reactor to maintain the temperature at 65 ℃, our reaction temperature.
