ACADEMIC PROJECT
Path to Net-Zero in Smart Foundries- Implementation, Cranfield University, UK. May 2023-August 2023
The aim of the research is to create a model-driven approach and put it into a toolkit to be used by two foundries and to identify and visualize energy flows, energy hot-spots and reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions. This was achieved by the following objectives:
Identifying the two representative foundries.
Familiarized with the visualization capabilities of the bespoke toolkit.
Implemented carbon footprint visualization streams.
Implemented an inventory of input of energy to calculate process step energy consumption & carbon dioxide emission according to specification provided by the modelling twin project.
Implementation of mathematical models to estimate energy consumption & carbon equivalent emission of process steps provided by the modelling “twin” project.
Substitution of the visualization features at point 3 with the modelled values (with the user providing the inputs necessary for the models).
Validation of the bespoke toolkit (e.g., Usability).
Presented findings using Graphviz, Sankey diagram, charts, and process flow diagram with the aid of Fortran Programming Languages.
Identifying the Best Practices in Foundation Industries, Cranfield University, UK February 2023-April 2023
The project was titled ‘Identifying the Best Practices in Foundation Industries’ and aimed to pinpoint optimal methods for revolutionizing foundation industries (Metal, Ceramic, Cement, Paper, Chemical, Glass). This has been achieved by creating process flow charts and determining the most effective practices for each industry. In pursuit of this objective, the following list of goals was considered:
Collaborated within a group of 5 individual on a project to Create process flow charts encompassing material, energy, and emissions for each sector of the foundation industries.
Ascertained the best practices for achieving higher resource efficiency and lower emissions at the process level.
Identified resource-intensive processes based on their commonality across foundation industries.
