Distillate Hydrotreating – Final Year Project

As part of my final-year design project, I co-developed a modular distillate hydrotreating plant focused on producing ADO10-grade diesel. My individual focus was on preheating the reactor feed using a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, and designing a three-phase separator to recover oil, gas, and wastewater efficiently. I performed full energy and mass balances, designed around ASME pressure vessel standards, and conducted hazard assessments aligned with HSE regulations.
