Process Engineer (10/2014 to 02/2016)
Technical Services and Planning
Monitored Vacuum Distillation, Fuel Refinery i.e. (Crude Distillation, Naphtha Hydro-treater & Platformer) section of the complex.
➢ Achieve manufacturing Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) and drive continuous improvement
➢ Provide Technical support to ensure Product quality, operational constraints & Market requirements, Responsible to take critical
decisions in the resolution of plant operational problems, communicating data and meeting with the proprietors until ensuring
on-specification products.
➢ Perform Calculations related to Mass & Energy balance , line sizing, pressure drop, Refinery energy utilization, running day’s
production losses, Inventory management, i.e. (Safety stock, Minimum, maximum & average stock), Chemical consumptions.
➢ Process Investigations & Technical Process Report on Findings.
➢ Procurement of Control valves, Pumps, Corrosion Coupons, Dosing Chemicals and Gas detection dragger tubes
➢ Process Development new initiatives for reducing Variable Cost, utilization & conservation of energy resources.
Achievements
➢ Lead Installation and Commissioning activities of the Naphtha block and train young energetic less experience team
➢ Lead Platformer regeneration 2018 as a “Coordinator”, without Honeywell representative, saved 20,000 USD/day
➢ Design and development of Operating Training Process Simulator Modeling and conduct acceptance tests on
equipment purchased from Schneider Electric for Isomerization Plant
➢ Manage project of RON up-gradation to meet Government Gasoline specification of 92 RON from 87 RON, that rewarded
millions of subsidy per month to organization
➢ Cooling water line blockage issues are resolved to maintain safe and smooth plant operation
➢ Supervise Fuel Refinery turnaround 2014 & 2016 as a Technical representative, including Catalyst R-56 unloading & loading,
its regeneration, safe keeping of radioactive hazardous chemicals, critical exchangers pressure testing and Furnace decoking
➢ Solved Naphtha Hydro-treatment corrosion issues, resulted in equipment’s thickness losses by reducing Chlorides, Iron.
Improving PH, suggesting corrective actions & Local Crude corrosion source identification by test runs of separate crude
➢ Lead Caustic Scrubber raschig rings, MEROX Charcoal unloading as well as distribution and loading
Initiatives:
➢ Through detailed technical analysis of L.P condensate design, saved condensate losses around 2500 m³/month
➢ Study feasibility of Trim coolers bypass and installed, that helped avoid shutdowns due to tube plugging or leaking
➢ Proposed & approved minimum flow line installation for caustic heater temperature controlling that reduced steam consumption
➢ Study feasibility and modify drainage system, sampling points positions of plant to ensure reliable and safe operation
➢ Penex scrubber caustic circulation nozzle installation so as to shower evenly around the column’s internal to enhance its life
