I
completed
the
bachelor
degree
in
Chemical
Engineering
in
2007,
from
King
Mongkut
University
of
Technology
North
Bangkok.
Also,
I
have
four
year
experience
in
upstream
oil
and
gas
industry
prior
to
pursuing
the
graduate
study
in
University
of
Waterloo.
In
my
MASc
research
work,
a
mechanistic
dynamic
model
of
a
pilot
plant
of
a
post-combustion
CO2
capture
plant
using
the
monoethanolamine
(MEA)
absorption
processes
was
developed.
The
proposed
dynamic
model
was
then
used
to
design
promising
decentralized
control
schemes
for
this
pilot
plant.
The
performance
evaluation
of
those
control
structures
was
assessed
under
multiple
scenarios,
e.g.
changes
in
flue
gas
composition,
set
point
tracking,
valve
stiction.
Furthermore,
a
step-by-step
method
to
scale-up
an
MEA
absorption
plant
for
CO2
capture
from
a
750
MW
supercritical
coal-fired
power
plants
was
developed
in
my
research.
The
mechanistic
model
of
an
industrial-scale
CO2
capture
plant
including
a
proposed
control
structure
was
evaluated
using
different
scenarios.
The
plant
has
been
shown
to
handle
different
disturbances
and
offers
prompt
responses.
In
addition,
poor
wetting
in
the
strippers
can
be
avoided
by
the
implementation
of
suitable
operating
policies
(process
scheduling)
in
the
plant.
