Experience/skill index across process industries, & Projects index of 1-page summaries

  • 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
