Tips Professional Experience
The role played in Afam VI CCPP implement different type of responsibilities and acquisition.
In order to perform the higher standards of maintenance rehabilitee and execution, it was due to undertake several seminars conducted by SPDC experts and coaches.
As I was undertaken the Official training of SAP, and MIE for Shell Petroleum Development Company it implement different aspects in Maintenance Execution even regarding the management of the FSR Facility Status Report and monitoring all the dashboards in order to ensure the compliance of the maintenance activities.
The role involved in different aspects of responsibilities and it starts from the DCS tasks to be implemented, to preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance of the control system in the plant. The plant is controlled mainly by METSO control system that accepts all communications from different control systems: ASLPA for Alstom Steam Turbine, EGATROL for 3 Alstom Gas Turbines and all relevant auxiliaries in the plant controlled by SEMATIC S7.
The necessity of expertise implemented on me to take over the HVAC department, and to control the Contractors on site for the preventive & corrective maintenance plans, insuring the high performance of the equipment.
The role implements the capability of raising RCA (root cause analysis) for most of the disciplines in the plant.
The type of rotation of the team, gave me the chance to role as Acting Maintenance Manager of Afam VI Combined Cycle Power Plant taking all responsibilities and professional responses for all kind of activities. Insuring the compliance of the Maintenance Department with SPDC MIE. The previous experience with ABB & ANSALDO enhanced my expertise: The ABB DCS systems have the same basics, which will open all possibilities to work on all products of ABB.
As known that ABB has several systems that have the same basis configurations starting from infi 90, through Advant system till reaching the Power Generation Portal and Composer – Harmony Working deeply in One of ABB products give the chance to work on all ABB systems, for me I did work on more than one(composer,PGP, Advant, Infi90) The experience in any DCS system will implement the knowledge to be involved in various types. I was involved in S7 – SPPA – T3000 for siemens, during the upgrade from old X-teleperm used with S5. Power Plant Experience
As the experience of working with international companies as NETCODIETSMANN, SPDC, ABB, Ansaldo, Enel and Siemens, it gave me a new frontiers and perspectives in Power plant industries. The professionalism of preparing, coordinating, correcting and implementing the job upon the planning done by the management that is used by international companies gave me a great idea of the jobs and tasks that must be done by individuals.
The implementation of SAP in order to ensure the compliance of maintenance activities enhanced my aspects regarding maintenance integrity and execution adopted by many international companies as the client that was SPDC
During my work with Ansaldo O&M (1998-2001), I’ve took many jobs
(freelancer) with Ansaldo energia concerning putting in preservation the third set of generation ( 2 Heat Recovery Steam Generators, Turbine, Generator and all the auxiliaries related to this set). The preservation of this set was done on Instrumentation, Electrical and mechanical equipments as well as the chemical preservation.
Before starting these tasks, I was involved, under a local subcontractor to Ansaldo energia, in the completion of outstanding items that were not done during the erection and commissioning of Deir Aamar Power Plant. During my work with Enel produzione (2001 – 2004), I was transferred by my company to the EDL client Ansaldo energia in order to start up the 3rd set ( 2 HRSG’S AND STEAM TURBINE). My job was in re-commissioning of all systems related to this set. The job was from DCS, line up of system, start-up till the operation act under normal conditions.
During my previous work with BCC Services, I manage several activities indirectly, starting from biding, procurement, training, managing and several minor activities.
One of the major achievements was the reverse engineering for ZOUK thermal power plant, where we had to convert a very old Control System ELSAG BAILEY to the new ABB Harmony-Composer DCS. We had to prepare all documentation from instrument lists, electrical loads, all I/O signals. The second stage was to convert all the logic to compatible logic with the new DCS system. Then it was all loaded in Italy, ABB Genova. I had the honor to be involved in Italy with the FAT.
ABB Genova planned the commissioning of ZOUK thermal power plant, and I was the DCS Engineer for installation, commissioning & start up, under the supervision of ABB Commissioning manager. After the completion of the commissioning phase, I was the DCS Engineer in Zouk for 9 months to support during O&M of the plant, than I played the role of main instructor to the I&C Engineers, I&C Technicians & Operation Department in order to handover all the activities for them.
From my point of view, this professional experiences in Power plant industries, Water treatment or Fuel treatment could assist in choosing several sectors in industry, jumping from Power plant and auxiliaries till Oil & Gas industry.
The experience of working with NETCO DIETSMANN & SPDC developed too many managerial and engineering skills. The power plant contains most of the important process in industry, from power generation, gas stations, condition emissions & water treatment.
To add, I did work with several industrial equipments:
- TSI (Turbine Supervisory Instruments)
Bently Nivada
- TSI Philips
- Power Converters SINEAX – PHILLIPS
- Transient Recorders AMETEK
- BMS (Burner Management Systems) and
flame detection (ABB)
