Masoud Talebi Amiri's past jobs
Qaptis builds a kit to retrofit heavy vehicles (trucks and ships) as well as stationary engines, boilers or furnaces to capture CO2 (and potentially other pollutants), without any energy penalty. The kit can capture up to 90% of the CO2 and store it in a liquid form. CO2 is then reused in different applications (materials, plastics) or combined with hydrogen to produce synthetic fuel. Qaptis can therefore transform a CO2 emitting vehicle fleet in a CO2 free vehicle fleet.
Development and improvement of Ponera solutions and products to disrupt conventional shipping network towards a more sustainable, efficient and financially effective system.
I provided the design, modelling and techno-economic analysis of the processes for two EPFL spin-offs named Plastogaz SA and Bloom Biorenewables. My main research was focused on the design and optimization of different processes for production of biofuel and bio-products in an integrated biorefinery concept. This required designing both Upstream and Downstream processing, their integration in the biorefinery model and applying the heat integration to provide financial and life-cycle analysis.
My thesis resulted in the EPFL spin-off called Bloom Biorenewables. I developed a new method for fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass with focus on preserving high-quality lignin for upgrading and to provide highly digestible cellulose compatible with conventional bio-refineries. This includes pre-treatment of woody biomass, extraction and separation of components, purification, enzymatic hydrolysis and catalytic upgrading.
Simulation of solvent recovery unit in Aspen plus for debottlenecking and energy optimization. The project also involved programming of instrumentation design for column's thermal sensors. The revision was applied from January 2014 with the expected impact of 20% reduction in energy consumption of the unit.
As a member of the monitoring section of Cat-Reformer Unit, I was involved in equipment maintenance and revision during the unit’s overhaul.
