PROJECTS

Production Of Ammonia, 1500 TPD By Coal Gasification.

(Production of ammonia (front end) from coal gasification, by using Lurggi fixed
bed gasifier . Selection of coal for ammonia production instead of natural gas is
due to the shortage of natural gas.)

Production Of Ethyl Acetate, (Design Project)

(Ethyl Acetate is produced from esterification of ethanol and acetic acid. The raw
material is easily available in Pakistan. In Pakistan establishing ethyl acetate plant
has been many advantages. It will have greater effect on country’s economy.)

Recovery Of Heavy Metals From Industrial Waste Water. (Research)

(I have used efficient, economical and the result oriented at commercial scale, In
this project I worked on; lab experiments on recovery of heavy metal, to minimize
surface tension of the waste material and continuous stirring and also worked on
the selections of electrodes. I did my research on cooper recovery.)
