Viraj Kothari

Performed market and competitor analysis to evaluate pyrolysis techniques for plastic.
Examined patents on pyrolysis, identifying their key strengths and weaknesses.
Researched advancements in pyrolysis technologies to inform development strategies. Furthermore, during my internship, I developed a comprehensive technical design for a next-generation plastic to fuel hydrothermal catalytic pyrolysis system. My work included engineering design, process optimization, catalyst selection, cost analysis, and yield estimation.

I moved beyond a basic pyrolysis setup by improving feedstock handling, reactor capabilities, anti-coking performance, and product separation efficiency.
