EXPERIENCE

LAUREN ENGINEERS AND CONSTRUCTORS, INC., KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE Chemical Process Engineer

December 2008 – April 2016

Generated and maintained all Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID’s) for the majority of the projects worked on by Page 2

Lauren Engineers and Constructors, Inc., Knoxville Location

(Lauren).

Wrote several reports given to clients surmising both my own and other’s findings.

Incorporated all client and in-house comments made to the drawings upon confirmation. Redlined and back-checked those changes working in tandem with in-house drafters. Supervised and coordinated with available drafting staff to ensure drawings were completed by set deadlines

Updated existing plant P&ID’s for retrofit project projects ensuring all piping and instrumentation tie-in points were clearly shown in accurate locations for construction. Tie-in points are used to make connections into existing piping during shut down of existing process manufacturing; thus, it is imperative they are marked correctly to enable construction to move quickly and get the profit making process back up and running by the end of the scheduled shut down period

Sized much of the process and utility piping on several projects based on client stipulations along with established principles of design found in Crane Technical Paper 410

Created utility P&ID’s as required ensuring that all piping connections and instrumentation were shown on proper floor and location as required for construction and operation.

Maintained Process Flow Diagrams (PFD’s), ensuring they matched any changes made to the P&ID’s. In turn, generated new P&ID’s (including all instrumentation added to the process) from PFD’s if the client did not issue initial P&ID’s to Lauren.

Analyzed equipment layout to determine required safety shower locations

Performed Pressure Relief Calculations utilizing SuperChems Light software choosing appropriate hazard cases requiring analysis. Developed SuperChems Light calculations for existing relief devices and piping arrangements to determine if they provide sufficient relief as they are, or if new piping or relief devices must be installed. In the latter case, new relief devices were specified.

Utilized internal software to calculate and specify new pressure relief devices based on preliminary piping layout for a refinery process.

Responsible for all P&ID’s on the same refinery’s FCC cracking unit. Worked in conjunction with drafters in-house and in other branches of Lauren to finish the project by the specified deadline. Spent overtime hours in order to achieve the initial goal of generating the rough draft of the drawings for the drafters. Page 3

Completed a theoretical study to determine if Carbon Monoxide

(CO) levels would be high enough in a furnace to cause combustion to occur during a Uranium (U) recovery process

Participated in HAZOP meetings to determine what safety concerns may exist in the process as it is shown on the existing P&ID’s. Safety interlocks and other measures were added as necessary

Performed SetPoint Analysis at a Nuclear Facility. Checked existing piping and equipment for possible critical design compliance issues given certain failure scenarios in the plant.

Familiar with Smart Plant for P&ID generation

Learning the Aspen Tech and HYSIS software for use in process simulations

UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE, KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE

Graduate Research Assistant / Graduate Teaching Assistant August 2002 – December 2008

Teaching Assignments including: General Chemistry I, General Chemistry II, and Grade Data Entry

Research assignments geared toward dissertation work and other projects in the research group.

Prepared materials for adsorption studies utilizing a patented technique involving RF generator and timed gas flow techniques.

Utilized a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to view carbon nanotubes generated in the lab

Gained working knowledge of high vacuum systems. Repaired, built, and designed several stationary and portable “isotherm stations” for use in dosing samples during vapor loading experimentation on various materials to determine their surface loading characteristics.

Built and repaired multiple control boxes which interacted with computer software responsible for automatically dosing samples with set amounts of vapor/gas via the “isotherm systems.”

Utilized cryogenic systems for temperature maintenance during experimentation in both closed systems and open helium transfer systems.

Rebuilt and repaired the recirculation system and glove box required for loading of hydroscopic sample cells on site at the University of Tennessee.
