Professional Experience

pOLYCHEM Chicago Heights, IL.

Maintenance Technician, February 2013 to Present

Prepared batches for an array of chemical conversion types like Amines and Resins. Among the

practiced commercial chemistry are: condensation reaction, free radical polymerizations and Lewis

acid alkylation reactions. Amines are a derivative of Ammonia. Key Results:

Proficient in the use of boilers, furnaces, air compressors, cooling towers, buffer systems,

vacuum systems, condensers, agitators, cylinders, and various other processes

Perform mechanical and electrical troubleshooting, including but not limited to: repair, replace,

and fabricate valves, piping, hoses, centrifugal & diaphragm pumps, pneumatic actuators, and

solenoids, as well as install, design, and replace 3 phase 480v motors, relays, start/stop controls,

transformers, contactors, conduit “EMT” & “Rigid”, transducers, and data loggers

Perform work to free blockages within closed systems, e.g. clogged oil lines, waste lines etc.

Monitor and maintain water, and temperatures levels for the boilers, and cooling towers

Perform production of all chemicals both manually & automated; closing and opening valves

and controls throughout the plant, as well as using Intellution 7.0 customer software and Allen-

Bradley controls

Perform recovery of nonhazardous waste from reactors; checking the pH balance to ensure

proper levels are reached, as well as fill cylinders and check faulty valves using nitrogen to

ensure there is adequate flow of chemicals from cylinders
