EXPERIENCE
JGC Corporation – Houston, Texas Jan. 2014–Present Process Engineer
Projects: 1. Mozambique LNG inlet treating section FEED, ~$300 million; 2. BANAGAS gas processing plant FEED, ~$600 million; 3. Jordan Cove LNG inlet treating FEED, ~$600 million; 4. PTT ethane cracker utility FEED.
• Successfully completed multiple technical FEED projects for liquefied natural gas (LNG) and gas processing projects.
• Spearheaded the design of Acid Gas Removal Units (AGRU), gas dehydration (glycol and mol sieve), stabilization, liquid/gas separation (slug catcher), mercury removal, and NGL recovery.
• Streamlined and integrated calculations for process equipment design (such as air fin cooler design, vessel design, column/tower design, heat exchangers design, pump calculations and hydraulic calculations) into more user-friendly, macro-based Excel spreadsheets. The streamlined spreadsheets reduced man hours by at least 30% due to less repetitive administrative work.
• Created multiple project definition documents.
• Lead and coordinated the preparation of Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs,) and Material Selection Diagrams (MSDs) for all projects.
• Participated in HAZOPs and Process Hazard Analyses (PHAs) as a technical engineer.
• Conducted proposal reviews, such as Scope of Works, for project planning and execution. EAGLE ROCK ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P. (KBR Field Assignment) – Houston, Texas July 2012–Dec. 2013 Project/Process Engineer
Projects: 1. BEC NGL treating upgrade, $16 million; 2. Gas condensate treating installation, $2 million; 3. Flare header redesign, $3 million; 4. Storage tanks upgrade and replacement, $4 million.
• Supervised technical and process safety works for the Alabama Gas Plant.
• Managed daily operational activities, including monitoring product quality, with the Alabama operation group.
• Coordinated pre-shutdown, shutdown, and startup activities for the gas plant.
• Optimized the record-keeping process and improved communications with the gas plant’s key management personnel.
• Enhanced the gas plant’s safety via multiple methods, including conducting PSV validation studies, red-lining existing P&IDs, and upgrading the company’s PSM program.
• Increased gas plant processing capability through debottlenecking and optimization studies.
• Maximized project cost reduction through cost control analysis metrics, weekly reporting, improved project estimates, project tracking, and project forecasting.
• Bolstered the gas plant’s Management of Change (MOC) and Pre-Startup Safety Review (PSSR) project processes for ease of use and effectiveness.
• Implemented justification documentation (AFE) and design basis document (DBD) packages for project funding. BINH TRINH
