May 10, 2025 – Big Blue Technologies, a technology company scaling up a magnesium metal production process, is pleased to announce the completion of a sponsored senior capstone design project through the University of Colorado at Boulder’s Chemical Engineering department. This work supports technical and economic analyses to facilitate the commercial scale-up of a BBT’s aluminothermic process technology.
Throughout the semester undergraduate seniors in Chemical Engineering applied their skills in kinetic modeling, equipment sizing and costing, and process synthesis to derive technical performance parameters for an economic analysis.
Congratulations to the graduating seniors Grace Origer, Summit Shrestha, Owen Sabolcik, and Hermann Klein-Hessling Barrientos!
