Congratulations Alan Owusu-Boateng

Alan Owusu-Boateng is a graduating MPhil student from the Chemical Engineering Department at KNUST.

His research interests include Process System Engineering, Bioprocess and Bioproduct Engineering, Sustainability, Energy and Water Treatment.

His MPhil research focused on Process Simulation and Technoeconomic Assessment of the production of starch and protein supplements from pulses. He considered three varieties of pulses (two local and one foreign). ASPEN Plus was used for his process simulation. He conducted a comprehensive economic analysis of the plants. His project can inform investors about their profitability margins.

Being part of the KNUST Engineering Education Project (KEEP) has improved his professional network. He is immensely grateful to the KEEP community for the great exposure and practical knowledge acquired through paid internship programmes, seminars, and workshops.
