TECH IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING EXPERIENCES AND PROJECTS JAGANNATH POLYMERS LTD., CUTTACK VOCATIONAL TRAINEE (10/2020- 12/2020) • Worked as a process engineer trainee to understand and supervise the process of production, ensuring proper reusability of processed water and learn more about the quality checking of various products like PP/ HPDE Woven sacks, PP/HDPE bags and LLDPE/ LDPE bags manufactured in the factory. INDIRA GANDHI INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, SARANG UNDERGRADUATION FINAL YEAR PROJECT • Preparation and Characterization of Chitosan/PVA Bio- Membrane Fuel Cell prepared by direct blend process and solution casting method. The ionic conductivity, methanol permeability and selectivity of the membranes were tested. These membrane fuel cells have gained large interest in automobiles because of the high performance of the fuel cell at elevated temperature. BHABA ATOMIC RESEARCH CENTER, MUMBAI SUMMER PROJECT INTERN (06/2019 - 08/2019) • Study on Interfacial Coalescence rate of water droplet in a water-organic liquid column with fine solid particle layers (Activated carbon/PVDF powder/Polyacrylamide (PAM) powder) at the liquidliquid interface. It studied the change in coalescence rate on varying the mass of solid suspended at the interface and with variation in column heights. • Study on contact angle measurement of water, organic liquid solution drops, and air bubbles on various solid-surfaces, to study their surface wettability. N.A.L.C.O.- SMELTER PLANT, ANGUL SUMMER TRAINEE (05/2018 - 06/2018) • Understanding the recycling process of electrolytic cells used for aluminum extraction in the rodding shop of the smelter plant.
