chemistry and chemical synthesis. 2.3.5 and 3.2.1
The principles of solubility and
crystallization, was applied in 1.3.1, 1.3.4, 1.3.5 and
obtaining the solubility/ 2.3.3
supersolubility isotherm. While an
understanding of multiphase phase
reactions was demonstrated in the
gas to liquid process design.
In-depth knowledge of algebra was
used to manipulate the material 3.3.3, 1.3.1, 2.3.5
balance equations to obtain the
unknown masses.
Differential calculus and Van’t Hoff
principle was used to obtain the 1.3.3
enthalpy of dissolution.
PhreeqC speciation software was
used in the speciation calculations to
obtain the solubility product 1.3.3, 2.3.5 and 3.3.1
constant. Aspen Hysys process
simulation software was used to
model the designed gas-to-liquid
process, while Visio drafting

process flow diagram of the drilling
mud production plant.
Thermodynamics, heat and mass
transfer, material and energy balance 1.3.3, 2.3.2 and 3.3.3

myself acquainted with the codes of
practice and work ethics, specific to
Australia. I have a good knowledge
of work health and safety regulations
and standards, with an internationally
recognized certification.
a. I applied the systematic crystallizer
design procedure in obtaining a
suitable solubility isotherm. A 1.3.1, 1.3.2, 1.3.3, 1.3.4,
process optimization technique was 2.3.5, 3.3.1 and 3.3.3
also used in improving the gas-to-
liquid process while a process flow
diagram was used to simplify the
complex relationship between the
major equipment in the drilling mud
plant.
a. I applied the techniques of
differential calculus and statistics in 1.3.3, 2.3.5 and 3.2.3
obtaining trends.
b. I used many chemical simulation
software tools, in modelling complex 1.3.3, 1.3.4, 2.3.5 and 3.3.1
practical processes.
c. Standard material engineering
principles was applied in arriving at 3.2.3, and 3.3.1
the chosen constituents for the
drilling mud, in order to have the
desired properties.
 a. I used a standard industrial procedure
in designing the gas-to-liquid 2.3.5, 3.3.1 and 3.3.3
process, as well as the drilling mud
production plant.
PE2.3 Application of systematic
engineering synthesis and design
