Highlights of Process
Engineering Experience
- Systems Lead on
Gasoline Benzene Reduction &
heat integration for WRBorger refinery
-
Sr. Systems engineer on Kero Hydrotreating and Hydrocracking for
grassroots Marathon Garyville; Offsites/Utilities/HSE systems design
for
Gasoline
Desulfurization
- Team member evaluating
extra heavy crude oil alternate to North slope
for BP, focus on
merchant Hydrogen plants, Calciner SOx/NOx evaluations, fuel
gas/steam balances
- Led initial design of Mobil Europe
3-refinery project for plant/lab
performance monitoring
- Deployed portable software to estimate
product yields from limited crude oil assays, calculate
value of spot tanker purchases. During Iraq war, trained worldwide in
3 weeks!
- Supervised 5 staff in
applications and databases for operations, labs, maintenance,
engineering, planning in a
$1.2 billion complex (natural
gas-methanol-gasoline)
- After O&U acceptance test,
implemented plant-wide databases, with graphical charts on-line for process unit and product
quality performance assessments and trends
- Tuned detailed methanol process
simulation models to plant data for process optimization, and steam
system dynamic control settings, resulting in accurate product yield
and quality prediction plus safer, more reliable response to process
upsets
- Co-author and analyst of failure
causes in $20 million steam/natural gas reformer damage
- Achieved 9% increase over the
design capacity of twin 2,000 tonne/day methanol plants
- Analysis & solutions for
energy conservation at research, commercial
and military
facilities
- Ran crude oil simulation for three refinery
expansions,
developed unit process equipment specifications, and
did instrument loop commissioning. set-points and alarms
- Conducted refinery startups and control panel
operator/field operator on-the-job training
