Project Manager

Project manager for all projects executed as part of the IP/KBR alliance. Managed multiple small projects including but not limited to the below.

Managed an upgrade to the cold blow pump and digester piping systems on two separate continuous digesters. Larger motors, pump and upgraded controls were included.

Managed installation of new and upgraded condensate dumping systems to meet a recovery boiler audit item. The new dumping system was calculated to confirm no contaminated condensate could reach the collection system and would be fully clear before reset.

Managed replacement of several bodies for two separate sets of evaporators. The bodies were nearing end of life as shown by NDT testing and the bodies were set up so that the process would call for installation of the new body and demolition of the old bodies during the year and only have tie ins made during the mill outages.

Managed upgrade and replacement of one of the major mill electrical busses. The modification required new MCC space and HVAC equipment plus major wire runs.

Managed design of new mill air dryer designed to replace multiple local units. A new structure was installed above an existing transformer yard to minimize major piping runs and provide adequate operator access. Controls and monitors were added for operator control and troubleshooting.

Managed cost and scope development for replacement of existing DC paper machine drives with new AC drives. New motors, cable runs, MCC including HVAC plant were included in the project.

Managed replacement of a debarking drum. Hydraulics and conveyor systems were modified to feed the upgraded drum.

Managed project to replace black liquor mix tank and install new direct liquor heater. This project included new pumps, controls and piping modifications.

Managed a project to install an indirect black liquor heater surplused from another IP mill that was shut down. The project included supports for the heater, new piping, a new circulation pump, steam piping and controls.

Managed project to replace existing mill gas lines that were replaced due to corrosion. Included in this project was not only piping but control upgrades and flow measurements.

Managed a project to install a new Mark VI TG control package along with a new exciter and hydraulic system. This project required not only the new controls but upgrades to mill MCC to accept the new equipment and provide a proper environment.

Managed a project to replace the front stand and install a new chipper. Conveyor modifications along with new controls were installed for the new unit.

Managed several projects to upgrade mill starters and MCC to replace obsolete equipment and provide proper environmental conditions for their continued safe and reliable operation.

Managed a project to provide for new platforms and supports for caustic rail car unloading. Also provided a new foundation and containment area for a replacement sulfuric acid tank

Managed a project to replace an outdated DCS controls on the Power Boiler and associated equipment. This included replacement of the existing operator interfaces and communications to the existing controls equipment.

Managed a project to install a new DCS on a recovery boiler. The existing single loop controllers were removed and new cabling and controls were required for most operating and monitoring points on the boiler.
