Asams Nelliparambil Jayan

• Responsible for the engineering design of CO2-neutral biofuel production units to facilitate transition to sustainable energy.
• Collaborate with internal R&D team and research team at Aalborg University to develop process models and simulations for biomass-to-biofuel conversion using ASPEN Plus.
• Partnered with external companies to develop specialized equipment for high temperature and pressure biomass liquefaction.
• Conducted PHA/HAZOP studies to identify process hazards, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
• Worked with ABB on SIL verification and developed LOPA for demonstration plant in Fredericia.
• Assisted in patent filings for innovative biofuel technologies, safeguarding intellectual property.

• Developed PFDs, P&IDs, and equipment specifications for DTU's CO2 capture projects.
• Commissioned and validated process equipment, safety interlocks, and control systems.
• Trained field operators to ensure safe pilot operation.
• Designed experiments to optimize processes for CO2 capture efficiency.
• Optimized CO2 capture operation at Hashøj Biogas Plant, reducing energy consumption below 3 GJ/tonne of CO2 captured.
• Established mini-pilot at DTU Kemiteknik lab for ConcenCUS project to enhance solvent regeneration.
• Tested various process configurations to improve energy efficiency using fixed concentration of Amine solution.

• Teaching assistant for the course: Transport Phenomena (Undergraduate level)

• Optimized resource utilization to enhance productivity and profitability, increasing annual production from 40,000 MMTPA to 44,000 MMTPA.
• Drafted and updated documentation for Standard Operating Procedures, Safe Operating Conditions, and Risk Assessments.
• Executed safe annual plant shutdowns and start-ups, along with Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA).
• Collaborated with cross discipline teams (Mechanical/Electrical/Instrumentation etc.) to develop preventive maintenance schedules for rotary/static equipment to improve reliability.

Intern at the Integrated Refinery Expansion project (IREP) that aimed at:

• Increasing the refining capacity of Kochi Refinery from 9.5 MMTPA to 15.5 MMTPA.
• Modernization of refinery to produce autofuels complying with Euro-IV/Euro-V specifications.
• Production of propylene as a petrochemical feed-stock to BPCL's proposed petrochemical complex.
