Job overview

  • Digital Twin:
  • Developing ML models for each section of a Fungicide Plant (XgBoost, Random Forest, Decision Tree, Light GBM, SVM, Linear Regression etc.) to predict quality of future batches with the help of the features in which the quality depends (input features). Developing model end to end (Data Collection, Data Pre-processing, EDA, Feature Engineering and then Model Building)
  • In this, have completed 2 sections with model accuracy of more than 80% and leading 3 Associate Data Scientists to work on other sections of the plant simultaneously
  • Insecticide Plant - Methanol Column Feed/Column Bottom Pressure Analysis & Ammonia Stripping Column Feed/Scrubber Pressure Analysis (Bottleneck Sections):
  • In these Projects, problem statement was to increase two important Recovery Columns Feed along with keeping the recovered material quality and column parameters (Pressure, Temperature, Flow) under desired range.
  • Preformed descriptive analysis on 2 years data (around 20 lakh data points). Build a logic to generate continuous ranges to identify the difference in parameters range when the feed was higher (Good Range) and when the feed was lower (Bad range) (Used different logic in both the projects to generate continuous ranges). Build such that there should be no overlapping of parameters ranges. Developed a Power BI dashboard to track the recommendations and production. Worked extensively with McKinsey Team in order to solve these problem statements
  • Cracked both the problems which helps to increase the overall plant production from 53 to 58 MT/D and then from 58 to 65 MT/D. So, overall, in amount after solving Methanol and Ammonia Sections problem, company get a combined huge profit of INR 12.5 Cr.

Job overview

  • Looking after day-to-day production of Lube Oil Base Stock Unit, observing plant parameters and meeting production demands per shift by continuously analyzing/optimizing the plant parameters
  • Heading a team of 5 process technicians in a shift, for smooth BAU and achieving shift-basis target as well as reviewing process to see the scope of improvement
  • Data Analytics and Machine Learning Projects:
  • Light Lube Product Kinematic Viscosity Prediction:
  • Developed Regression Models to predict the Kinematic Viscosity of Light Lube Product
  • This model benefited the industry by eliminating the need to buy external KV analyzer which could cost 20 Lakh INR
  • Product Maximization:
  • Developed Predictive Models for three different Products (grades)
  • This model allowed to maximize production while keeping all specifications under desired range, thus giving maximum profit/day to the organization
  • Loan Amount Pay Back Prediction:
  • Analyzed the data provided by LandingClub.com (taken from Kaggle) and developed Classification models to predict whether the borrower paid back their loan in full
  • Perrin Freres Monthly Champagne Sales Prediction:
  • Analyzed the data (dataset taken from Kaggle) and developed Time Series Forecasting model to predict futures sales prediction
  • Designed easy to interpret visual graphs.
