2005: Chemical Engineer [Course member], GCT, Sfax,Tunisia
Training course and the realization of the final year project [PFE]: I have conducted a study aimed at improving the separation quality of Tri-Super Phosphate (TSP) dust by means of cyclone, which required the mass and thermal assessment of the TSP workshop. I have designed a new cyclone station in order to improve the operating cycle of the TSP production line, the separation capacity of dust and allow an easy maintenance.
2004: Chemical Engineer [Course member], GRANUPHOS, Sfax, Tunisia
Training course: I have participated in the installation of a new proportioning station to improve the quality of the NPK (Nitrogen/Phosphate/Potassium) products.
