ABOUT AYAN BHAR
I am a chemical engineer with 8+ years of experience across the full lifecycle of industrial gas and energy transition processes — from hands-on commissioning in the field to dynamic simulation, process safety, and R&D.My career has taken me from cryogenic Air Separation Units and Ethylene plants in India (Linde, L&T Hydrocarbon) to the heart of Germany\'s green hydrogen and energy storage ecosystem. Along the way, I have built a rare combination of skills: I know what it looks like when a plant starts up at 3 AM, and I also know how to model it in Aspen HYSYS.Key highlights: Led dynamic simulation development for a novel Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) plant at phelas GmbH, covering startup behaviour, transient operation, and system-level design — work that resulted in a patent filing and an upcoming research publication. Led the performance guarantee test of the REFHYNE I 10 MW PEM electrolyser at Shell\'s Wesseling refinery — one of Europe\'s largest green hydrogen plants at the time. Developed a dynamic simulation model for a load-flexible green NH₃ synthesis loop as my master\'s thesis at Linde Engineering\'s Chemical Technology R&D, Pullach, Germany. Conducted a techno-economic analysis of long-distance H₂ import to Germany via different chemical carriers (NH₃, e-LNG, LOHC, liquid H₂) during an internship at Air Liquide R&D, Frankfurt, Germany.Currently, I am leading process safety studies for PEM electrolysis plants at Quest One GmbH and supporting a 5 MW demonstration-scale electrolyser plant — bridging the gap between electrochemical system behaviour and industrial-scale plant safety.Core tools: Aspen HYSYS · Aspen Plus · UniSim Design · Aspen EDR · PythonDomain focus: Green H₂ (PEM Electrolysis) · Cryogenic Processes · Modeling & Simulation · Process Safety
