Responsible for the progress of Management of Change (MOC) documentation, revision of Butane Splitter Unit Consequences of Deviation and valuable input to the 2012 Platformer PHA/LOPA. Attended conferences and performed studies (such as Solomon Energy) to reduce energy costs and improve platformer yield.

Developed Root Cause Analysis (RCA) of high sulfur contents in Platformer feed for 3 days less downtime ($60K saved), and prevented the replacement of catalyst at the cost of $300,000.

Recommended exchangers for cleaning on crude unit preheat train ($500,000 savings).

Monitored fuel gas, hydrogen, steam, & oxygen content from heater stacks; saving $2 MM/yr in flare losses & energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Increased FCC rate by 1.5 MBD as a result of these actions.

Recommended $100K of control system improvements to heaters, saving $500K/year in fuel gas usage.

Submitted Conceptual AFE’s and Capital Budget items to reduce energy usage and GHG emissions by 20%.
