Specialist of WorleyParsons Canada Canada
Analyzed and made changes to PIDs, PFDs, LDTs, Equipment Data Sheets, as
well as filled instrumentation lists for the Edmonton Corefco Project in
2008 (an upgrade of 18 Plant Units used to produce cobalt and nickel with
solid fertilizer as a byproduct from ore coming out of the Caribbean island
of Cuba). Project prematurely closed and was laid off
Revised drawings, reviewed technical reports and leveraged expertise in
engineering systems and procedures for major Sarnia refinery projects to
champion increased efficiency / safety as it relates to equipment emissions
and feedstock impurities, such as sulfur content in oil sources.
Researched brown field projects in the Sarnia Shell and Suncor industries,
developing Basis of Design and Calculation sheets documentation; reviewed
drawings, vendor documentation and safeguarding drawings as a checker; and
completed HAZOP recommendations as required.
Senior Process WorleyParsons Trinidad Port-of-Spain
2006-2008
Engineer Limited Trinidad
W.I.
Provided process engineering support to the Structural Lead Engineer on a
British Gas, Gas to Liquids Plant project including completing HAZOP, PID,
Line List and isometric drawing checks to the 2006 Carapal Unit
installation in Central Trinidad in the West Indies.
Implemented process for the development of letdown stations spanning flare
and pressurized storage in the main for an island wide natural gas
distribution project for The National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago to
prevent previous unsafe atmospheric venting of both gas and liquid
hydrocarbons (components of natural gas feed) through existing Pressure
Relief valves and recover heavy hydrocarbon liquids for processing in
downstream industries.
Senior Chemical Yara Trinidad Limited Savonetta
1977-2006
/Process Engineer a division of Norsk Hydro Trinidad W.I.
International
Collaborated in meetings as senior process engineering lead / supervisor
with plant production managers on revamp projects designed to improve
production levels and/or plant efficiencies.
As a process engineer, spearheaded the project to recover 450
gallons/minute of water using a process condensate stripper and recovery
unit at the Yara Ammonia Plant in 1997.
Worked towards preventing a risky investment by completing studies to
improve plant operation and uncover an unfeasible equipment add-on in the
Tringen 11 (KBR designed) Ammonia Plant of 1986 vintage (Tringen 11
nameplate capacity is rated at 1500 tonnes per day).
Promptly changed and implemented a revised operations procedure to steer
Tringen 1 from a total shutdown in 1992 as a result of a poor million
dollar purchase of an HT Low Temperature Shift catalyst that almost
destroyed the plant when an uncontrolled fire raged in the catalyst bed.
Completed several smaller projects on time and profitable to the company
(projects ranged in size from $US50K to $US600K).
Worked outside of normal hours as a production on-call coordinator (six
week rotation roster) to keep the plants online and to avoid disastrous
operations and/or unscheduled plant shutdowns.
