Professional Experience

Plant Engineer / Operator February 2011 – January 2012

Qatar Acids Company, Qatar

Manually and automatically controlled the plant using PLC-SCADA control system software to regulate the flow and pressure of liquid/gas to feed-lines of furnaces, boilers, and related steam-generating/heating equipment.Conducted daily plant inspection and stream troubleshooting and recorded and reviewed daily operations logs, ensuring the plant ran safely and efficiently, successfully avoiding major plant shut-downs, compared to four occurrences in the previous yearParticipated as a team member that was responsible for the plant shut-down and start-up procedures and implemented safe-guards for sudden plant upset and issued safety permits for routine plant check-ups, plant shut-down, and equipment adjustmentReviewed and assessed the plant’s P&ID and PFD for plant expansion and operation amongst company engineers, adjusted temperatures, pressures, levels, and flow rate to maintain the plant’s process at the required levels/concentrations or to correct problemsSupervised crews of 2-5 labourers and maintenance employees while on overtime shifts, to ensure they were wearing proper safety gear and following standard operating procedures.Demonstrated excellent communication skills while preparing English language documents such as letters and memos.

Education

Bachelor of Chemical Engineering 2010

McMaster University, Hamilton, ON

Project Work included:

Engineering Economics and Problem Solving - Worked in a five-person group to design a cheese manufacturing plant while incorporating process overview and principles, operability, economics and accounting for safety issues (HAZOP and HACCP)Optimization in Chemical Engineering - Found the optimal PI-Controller tuning parameters by using Matlab to solve the non-linear problem for a pulp and paper mill washer, and optimizing for the integral square errorDigital Process Control – Achieved the highest grade in the class for using Matlab Simulink function on a Multi-Input Multi-Output Controller problem, in order to find the optimal tuning parameters for performance and robustness of a grinding circuitUnit Operations and Processes in Environmental Engineering – Designed a Wastewater Treatment plant using city monthly wastewater production data in order to incorporate the size and type of grit removal, the primary and the secondary sedimentation tanks, the bio reactor, the tertiary filter, and the disinfection tankChemical Plant Design & Simulation – Researched and designed a H2-car process to source an alternative method for reducing greenhouse gases emissions, by using biomass as the raw material. Worked as part of a group of six, contributing in the areas of process overview, equipment design and the cost of the plant Participated in Heat Tanks Lab - performing empirical modelling and PID controller tuning and to gaining experience with various control strategiesConducted reaction residence time distributions for a CSTR, a PFR, and a PFR-CSTR series reactor in the Kinetics and Reactor Design Lab, to determine which reactor achieved optimum performance
