Background, Aim and Objectives

Background, Aim and Objectives-5th Year Chemical Engineering student from UWA-Currently doing Masters of Professional Engineering in Chemical Engineering-1.5 Years left, Needing to complete 450 hours of Vacation work-23rd November – 26th February (13 Weeks)

List of Tasks and Projects Done

List of Tasks and Projects DoneDecember 2015- Caustic Injection to Snake Line BN0431 (Project K12-109)- Venturi Scrubber Model Efficiency Calculations- TCV-2211 Data Sheet ($27,000 Valve Replacement)- Bursting Discs Calculations- Reactor 307 Summary ReportJanuary 2016- Star Valves Calculations- Chlorinator Report- Training Slides for Kemerton- PFD Summary of KemertonFebruary 2016- Control Valve Data Sheets (FCV’s, Slurry, XCV’s)- Chlorinator Start Up Rates- POP/SOL/DL Work instruction

December 2015- Caustic Injection to the Snake Line BN0431- Venturi Scrubber Model Efficiency- TCV-2211 Data Sheet- Bursting Disc Calculations- Reactor 307 Summary Report

Caustic Injection to the Snake Line BN0431

Caustic Injection to the Snake Line BN0431Commissioning- P&ID Checks- Reading/Preparing Commissioning Document (5100-U500-FCD-001)- Performing the Commissioning- Valve Failure

(5100-U500-INV-001 RCA Caustic Spray System PCV-5057 Failure)- Other Follow Ups

Venturi Scrubber Model Efficiency Calculations(5100-U200-CAL-005)

Venturi Scrubber Model- Given a number of books and sources for Venturi Scrubber- Created Excel File that models Efficiency of Venturi Scrubber- (5100-U200-CAL-005 Venturi Scubber Efficiency Calculator)- Collected Dusts from remnants of Old Venturi Scrubber- Sent for Particle Sizing C201 Fines- RCA Results (5100-U200-INV-006)- Test

TCV-2211 (~$27,000 Valve Replacement)

TCV-2211 (5100-U200-CAL-002)

Bursting Discs- Did some Work on bursting discs- Was given a list of 7 Bursting discs and needed to determine

whether the bursting discs are up to safety margin- Used a model already created in Excel to determine whether the

bursting discs were adequate

List of Bursting Discs worked on- PSE2248/2249- PSE2260/2261- PSE3385/3386- PSE5507

Reactor 307 Summary Report(5100-U300-INV-002) - Given Report summary for Reactor 306- Using ‘Minitab’, gathered data for Reactor 307- Input the data into a report and filled out parts of the report- Created the some Boxplots and Time Series Plots for the report- Sharan Computed the rest- Gained Experience in Minitab

January 2016- Star Valves Calculations- Chlorinator Report- Training Slides for Kemerton- PFD Summary of Kemerton

Star Valves Calculations- Did some work on Star Valves- Determined when which Star Valves (A, B or C) were operable

at what time using SAP- Determined when each star valve was changed Using SAP- Using this also obtained info on how much Chlorine, Nitrogen,

Peroxide and Sodium Hydroxide each star valve was using

Chlorinator Report (5100-U200-INV-005)- Created a new Chlorinator Report based on old chlorinator report

done by Sven- Gained experience and understanding in Lotus Notes and SAP as

those were required to gather data and information in order to complete the Chlorinator Report

Training Slides for Kemerton- Was Given slides for Gas Scrubbing and Vent Stack from Stallingborough- Asked to make one for Kemerton for U500 about the gas scrubbers and

vent stack there

PFD Summary of Kemerton

February 2016- Control Valve Data Sheets (FCV’s, Slurry, XCV’s)- Chlorinator Start-Up Rates- POP/SOL/DOL Work Instruction

Chlorinator Start-Up Rates- Looked at TI-2203, 2204, 2205 and 2206- Noticed when temperatures were low (shut-down periods)- Gathered information and worked out the start up rates

Control Valve Data SheetsCompleted 8 FCV Data Sheets- FCV3427,FCV3319,FCV3005,FCV2209,FCV2212,FCV2222,FCV2223

Completed 10 XCV Data Sheets- XCV3086,3079,3085,3078,3084,3077,2038,2051,2052,2037

Completed 4 Slurry-Related Control Valve Data Sheets- LCV3306, FCV4471, LCV4401, LCV6606

POP/SOL/DL Work Instruction(AP_M009_WI0-002)Updated the POPs/Sols/DLs of a work instruction using data sheets

obtained from Organice and a Daily SOL Breach Report

What I learnt and Future

What I learnt- Gained knowledge on the process that went on in a Titanium

Dioxide industry- Learnt how to apply Engineering knowledge in real life

applications such as working out flows, pressures and temperatures of valves, efficiency of scrubber, filling in data sheets etc.

- Gained experience in engineering workplace related tools such as SAP, PI Processbooks, Lotus Notes, Minitab, Microsoft Word, Powerpoint and Excel

- Gained hands on experience on the Kemerton Site- Learnt a lot about safety and safety-related issues and that

safety plays a huge role in a chemical plant

Future- Complete Degree in Master’s of Professional Engineering in

Chemical Engineering- Use knowledge and experience learnt to help pick and write

Thesis Topic for the Second Semester of the year
