PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Over twenty years of experience in design and engineering of
Instrumentation and Control System for the petrochemical plants, power
plants and refineries. Responsibilities included design and specification
of instrumentation, control system, system configuration, project scope of
work and P&ID's development. Position ranged from Instrument Engineer to a
Control System Engineer to a Lead /Principal Control System Engineer on
various assignments from conceptual design to engineering and construction
of grass root complexes.
Instrument engineering activities included sizing calculation for control
valve, relief valves and orifice plates. Specified, selected and procured
field and control room instrumentation like control valves, relief valves,
temperature, flow inline instruments, electronic transmitters, electronic
controllers, recorders, indicators, continuous emission monitoring system,
process stream analyzer (GC) systems and designing Foundation Fieldbus
network.
Control System engineering activities included development of Distributed
Control System (DCS) specification, control narrative, safety system
narrative, cause and effect diagram, I/O distribution and loading,
evaluation and selection of system and I/O configuration. Developed control
room and rack room layouts. Supervise development of loop drawings and
wiring drawings. Also participated in factory acceptance tests, site
acceptance test and field startups of the units including loop checks and
validation of SIS. Perform QA/QC for the projects.
Lead Control System engineering activities included development of project
scope, man-hour estimates, cost estimates, and scheduling and progress
reports. Responsibilities also included supervision of control system
engineers and designers, P&ID development, HAZOP, SOA, PHA, AOA, control
system philosophy development and implementation, purchase order review,
vendor selection, commercial review of the purchase orders, vendor drawing
review, vendor compliance, development of change order and management of
changes. Interface with client representative and other disciplines for
smooth flow of information, instrumentation and system specification
development and system drawings development. Address exceptions and
