Optimized barometric condenser cooling water valve sizing through hydraulic modeling and material and energy balances, improving flash cooler vacuum control.

Independent hydraulic assessment identifying piping restrictions as the cause of slurry transfer flow limitations.

Improving utility water circuit reliability through pump redundancy, hydraulic analysis, and strategic reuse of existing infrastructure.

Designed and optimized gypsum slurry piping extensions for a gypsum stack expansion project. Using calibrated hydraulic models, I developed piping configurations and flow-control strategies that maintained system performance without requiring costly variable frequency drives.
