SUMMARY
. Eight years of fulltime experience in various industries including power,
refining, chemical, steel and manufacturing. Knowledge and skills
include technical sales, account management, existing system modification
and optimization, project management new system design, procurement,
installation, commissioning and testing, as well as both office and
fieldwork. Significant experience consists of coordinating, managing and
interfacing with internal customers, external customers, suppliers,
consortium partners, engineers, and construction personnel.
. Recommended the use of scale inhibitor product to prevent the formation
of scale in a customer's closed loop system. The product was effective
in minimizing the formation of scale, in which the customer experienced
no unscheduled maintenance on the equipment, which led to a cost savings
of $25,000/yr including the cost of the product.
. Performed a critical and extensive engineering study on a customer's
sodium zeolite softeners due to poor, high efficiency boiler performance.
Determined that the softeners were not getting proper regenerate because
of several issues. Once the issues were resolved, as well as cleaning the
boilers, the quality of the water was restored and boiler efficiency
improved significantly.
. Engineered a system that allowed for softened, cooling water that was
going down the drain to partially go back to DA tanks after going to
flash tanks to cool the boiler water going down the drain. Supervised
contractors who were installing new piping.
. Extensive knowledge and experience in the utilities sector of the
industry specifically water.
. Organized, self-motivated, diligent, and hard working with great
presentation skills.
. Co-op jobs with several companies such as Ethicon Endo Surgery, Redken
Laboratories, and the Andrew Jergens Company as a product and process
development engineer prior to full time work at GE Water.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS
05/2009 to Present SCR Performance Manager, E.ON Engineering Corporation,
Groveport, OH
Responsible for addressing of proper testing and analyzing of existing
customer's SCR catalyst allowing for the determination of the root causes
for catalyst deactivation. Created customized reports informing the
customer of the DeNOx potential and forecasting of catalyst life. These
detailed reports provided recommendations, which allowed the customer to
make informed decisions on whether to exchange, replace, purchase and/or
regenerate their SCR catalyst.
. Developed and maintained a successful business relation with a major
customer who was originally deciding whether to continue utilizing our
services prior to my arrival with the company.
. Developed a thorough understanding of not only the process surrounding
the SCR system but the entire power plant process. This was accomplished
through a formal training as well as onsite visits to power plants to
perform field testing services including testing of SO2, SO3, and NH3
slip for several customers.
. Initiated a new safety program during my first year. Implementation of
all safety protocol took place towards that latter part of the year. The
safety program included documentation of near misses as well as any
accidents, all OSHA required documentation and a reward system that
acknowledged people who contributed to a safer workplace. Provided new
employee safety training and updated and maintained current employee
safety training and training records as well as updating the current
Chemical Hygiene and Hazardous Communication Plan
. Assisted in routine laboratory testing as well as troubleshooting of
equipment within the lab and in the field.
07/2006 to 01/2009 Engineer, GE Water and Process Technologies, Canton,
OH
Responsible for developing and maintaining water management solutions for
potential and existing customers. Includes account management, which
involves the technical and financial aspects of acquiring new and
maintaining existing customers. Account management involves directing
activities of technicians, maintaining system reliability, continuous
improvement projects, project management and profit maximization. My main
account base was Timken Steel, with a few other smaller surrounding
accounts totaling approximately $1,000,0000.
. Performed detailed testing that led to the use of a product that
increased the efficiency of the Timken's Oily Waste process. Not only
did this product allow the customer to process more oil, but it also
saved the customer $20,000.00/yr because of how the product worked
synergistically with other chemicals in the process. The customer was
also able to eliminate unnecessary testing, equipment and fines saving
them and additional $28,000.00/yr.
. Recommended the re-routing of boiler blow down drain piping to reduce
drain pluggage (scale) because of hot and cold water coming in contact in
the drains. This idea was effective in preventing scale, which led to a
cost savings of $30,000.00/yr, in drain cleaning costs, for the customer.
. Assisted in a Lean Six Sigma project with the customer, which the
customer was determining whether it was important to chemically treat
their main water treatment plant- which recycled water back to the plants
- or chemically treat the water at the specific plants (satellite
treatment). Collected data and created graphs and did some statistical
work for the customer.
. Developed and sold chemical feed system for a new annealing line that was
erected by the customer. Commissioned startup of equipment, which
includes softeners, de-ionized water tanks, cooling tower controllers,
and several chemical pumps.
. Headed up project involving the determination of whether the customer
could remove solids from a newly built scale pit. This involved bringing
in an outside laboratory to grab samples and perform Total Suspended
Solids (TSS) testing. Maintained a spreadsheet of the results of the
data, which included some statistical data.
01/2004 to 06/2006 Account Manager/Engineer, GE Water and Process
Technologies, Lima, OH
Responsible for meeting the water management needs of Valero Refinery
currently known as Husky Refinery, and BP currently known as Innovene,
totaling approximately $250,000. Activities include monitoring industrial
water systems, making recommendations to minimize water related problems,
maintain and grow business as well as conduct project work.
. Prevented the shutdown of a major unit in which a savings of
approximately $500,000.00 was observed by recommending to perform an
online acid cleaning on a critical heat exchanger, which was having
issues with scale because of changes in the process. Established a
routine cleaning with this exchanger and several other exchangers which
helped to reduce additional shutdown.
. Led a project which took existing plans for feed equipment and engineered
the installation of feed equipment for one of the customer's cooling
systems. Entailed creating P&ID's, ordering and maintaining equipment,
supervising field service technicians to install the equipment, and
commissioning and start of the equipment with assistance of field service
technicians.
. Developed a heat exchanger monitoring program to continually track the
performance of several key heat exchangers utilizing information from the
refinery's own online database and other pertinent chemical properties
found in resource tables and books. This allowed for early detection of
fouling and allowed for maximizing heat exchanger efficiencies and
prevented any downtime.
. Awarded the position of District Safety Coordinator
02/2003 to 12/2003 Account Manager, GE Water and Process Technologies,
Reynoldsburg, OH
Maintained and grew business as well as conducted project work (Mansfield,
OH; Zanesville, OH; and Coshocton, OH) totaling approximately $200,000.00
. Delivered value at AK Steel Mansfield account after Mold system
encountered serious corrosion due to high levels of microbiological
activity by replacing the old treatment containing nitrite (contributes
to microbiological growth) with a new application containing molybdate to
reduce microbiological activity. This allowed for a reduction of
systematic problems within the molds resulting in a saving of $36,000.00
in unnecessary charges for replacing the molds.
. Created Statistical Process Control (SPC) graphs for the customer to help
show the customer that the treatment of their water system was not in
control due to lack of automation. Use of the graphs and data allowed
for GE to install an automated set up for customer's system.
. Recommended the use of an anti-scale treatment at AK Zanesville to
control formation of scale in nozzles and piping due to high amounts of
calcium in the plant's main water source. This saved AK Steel Zanesville
$20,000.00.
