Case Studies in Project Feasibility

Techno-Economic and Feasibility Study for the Optimization of the Ethanolamine Production Unit (Case Study: Qatar Petrochemical Company – 15,000 KTY) 💡 What’s this about? In this paper, I developed a full-process simulation of a large-scale ethanolamine production plant (MEA, DEA, TEA) based on one of the best licensors' industrial designs, using Aspen HYSYS V14 on a high-performance computing setup (i9 Gen 14th, 32 GB RAM). We analyzed, validated, and optimized the process technically and economically, delivering results that demonstrate both operational and financial viability. 📌 Key Achievements: ✅ 98.1% EO conversion ✅ 12.4% steam consumption reduction ✅ 9.1% cooling water savings ✅ MEA selectivity improved to 38% ✅ IRR: 21.5%, NPV: $72.4 million, Payback: 4.1 years 📎 Download the full paper here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/gtNgCQ88 #ProcessEngineering #AspenHYSYS #PetrochemicalDesign #TechnoEconomicAnalysis #Ethanolamine #QatarPetrochemical #ChemicalSimulation #MEA #DEA #TEA #SimulationOptimization #ResearchAndDevelopment #LinkedInResearch #EngineeringExcellence

Want to know what a ‘work in progress’ drawing of a relatively large scheme of apartments looks like ? Like this.   Early testing of a scheme’s viability.   About a year ago we were approached by an organisation tasked with selling an old vacant church and their associated plots of land. Somewhere in Yorkshire. Quite a complicated land sale, it involves: -          Old church buildings. -          Ministers house. -          Separate garden space. -          Separate large undeveloped plot of land nearby. -          Graveyard.   We agreed that rather than selling on as it is, we should conduct some loose feasibility studies to find out what could be done with the land to increase its value, ready for a quick exit, without paying out for the full development costs and associated risks.   All plots of land are in a conservation area and some are in the green belt. The old church is a gorgeous Victorian stone building, it oozes character, is totally unique and is built to last. So, several challenges there straight away to overcome.   We agreed to phase the project into separate ‘bite size chunks’ to make the land sale easier to manage. Phase 1 = old church buildings and ministers house. Phase 2 = other parcels of land.   We then worked out the old church buildings could be converted and retrofitted and would probably generate about 16 apartments over three floors and the separate plot of land could generate 2 x new build apartments blocks of 9 units each, 18 total units. Overall total units = 34 apartments. All based on exceeding the Nationally Described Space Standards for dwelling sizes.   To test the viability of this we submitted a Pre-application Planning Enquiry to the Local Planning Authority. About 6 months later we received a 20 page pre-app report. Yep, you read that right, about 6 months later! This informed us the church building conversion was viable and probably a go-er, subject to some highways and landscaping issues that needed to be overcome. We also received some useful feedback about the Phase 2 developments too.   This wasn’t necessarily an exercise in establishing a final agreed scheme, but rather just testing early viability of the schemes to see what was possible and acceptable in principle. This has now enabled the Client to make firm decisions about what to do next and when.   If there any developers who are interesting in finding out more about these sites, please send me a message!
