Jacobs Engineering Group, Houston (January 2008 - Present)

. Arena - Radiation Analysis and Gas Dispersion Flammability Analysis

using PHAST Modeling software version 6.54 for the atmospheric vent

header vent stack.

. BP Cherry Point - Conducted Best Available Control Technology (BACT)

analysis for greenhouse gases in a manner that satisfies the BP

internal requirement to complete the Energy Efficiency Value Improving

Practice (VIP)

. COP - Prepared the Permit by Rule for Emergency Diesel Generators and

estimated the emissions from the generators

. Houston Airport Systems- Prepared the greenhouse gas mandatory

reporting plan for the IAH and Hobby Airports in Houston.

. Port of Seattle- Checked for gaps in the greenhouse gas emissions

calculation for the Seaport and Tacoma Airport as per the climate

registry general reporting protocol and EPA.

. Dow Aramco, Ras Tanura Integrated Project (RTIP)-Calculated the

fugitive emissions, air emissions from various sources (tank vent

emissions and other point sources) for input to the EIA. Compiled the

licensor data, vent stream characterization and flow rate data.

Prepared the air emission inventory. Identified gaps and confirmed

conformance with the basis of design. Prepared BAT report for the air

emissions to the atmosphere.

. Saudi Elastomers Saudi Arabia-Prepared permit application package,

gathered data for the permit application forms for air, hazardous

waste and noise. Estimated the fugitive emission count and the

emission calculations for various sources. Compared the air emission

rate with the Royal Commission Environmental Regulations (RCER)

standards. Prepared the Environmental Information Report.

. Chevron Philips Jubail Saudi Arabia-Prepared regulatory comparison

table, comparing the air and wastewater emission standards in EPA,

Worldbank, TCEQ BACT, PME and Royal Commission. Prepared the project

design document. Designed an incinerator program to treat the

wastewater from various units. The program was used to calculate the

stack gas emissions from the incinerator and the pollutant

concentration in the treated wastewater.

. GE Plastics Mt Vernon Indiana-Prepared air emission calculations and

MON MACT (Miscellaneous Organic NESHAP Maximum Available Control

Technology) regulatory review for the Monomer, Polymer and Co-Polymer

unit.

. Formosa Plastics Corporation, Petrochemicals; Point Comfort Texas-

Worked on the New Source Review permit applications and amendments for

the PVC manufacturing unit.

. Motiva Port Arthur Crude Expansion Project-Estimated the fugitive

count and emission calculation for various units.

. BP Texas City-Designed a vapor space model to calculate the VOC

concentration and flow rate of vapor exiting a non steady state

wastewater tank with rising liquid level following an oil spill.

Research Assistant, University of Houston (August 2005 - December 2007)

. Degradation of TCE and PCE mixtures in groundwater using bimetallic

nanoparticles.

. Produced Fe/Ni particles by foaming technology and proved that to be

more effective in the degradation than that produced by the solution

method.

. Solubility study of TCE and PCE in various surfactants (including the

bio-surfactant produced using the used vegetable oil) and analyzed the

interference of the two compounds.

. Developed a method for the preparation of Fe/Au nanoparticles.

. Characterization of the metallic particles using SEM, XRD, EDX and

UV Spectrophotometer

. Rate kinetics modeling by multiple regression analysis using MATLAB

National Environmental Engineering Institute (NEERI) (December 2004 - April

2005)

. Worked on the detection of enteric viruses in drinking water samples

using polymerase chain reaction and development of an economic

filtering device.

Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (CPCL) May 2003

. Member of a team that worked on improving the pour point and removing

the hydrogen sulphide from various parts of the production unit.
