My corner of a gas-to-liquids plant

A GTL plant turns natural gas into liquid fuels. The process units get the attention, but none of them run without the utility network and the offsite storage and flare systems I look after.

Simplified gas-to-liquids plant Natural gas passes through gas treating, syngas reforming, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and upgrading, then to storage tanks for diesel, jet fuel and naphtha. Steam, cooling water, nitrogen and air, and power reach the units along a utility pipe rack, and a relief header runs to the flare. The pipe rack, storage tanks and flare form the utility and offsite area. Utility and offsite: my area Main process train Steam Cooling water Nitrogen and air Power Relief to flare Natural gas To loading Gas treating sulphur, CO₂ removal Syngas reforming to CO + H₂ Fischer–Tropsch liquid synthesis Upgrading hydrocracking Diesel Jet fuel Naphtha Product storage Flare

Machine learning and Python practice from my data science studies. The code for each one is public on GitHub.

Python, fastai, Streamlit

Transport classifier

Abdivoitov-Shokhrukh/transportClassification

An image classifier that tells cars, boats and airplanes apart. Upload a photo to the web app and it returns its prediction, how confident it is, and a bar chart of the probability for each class. The app's interface is in Uzbek.
