I am a seasoned Process Engineer with over thirty years of progressive experience in design and engineering of green field and brown filed projects in Oil and Gas, NGL plants, Power generation, Hydrogen Generation, Cogeneration, Food and beverage products processing and packaging projects. Most of the projects I have been involved included feasibility studies, FEED, detailed design and start up and commissioning. In some of projects my responsibilities extended up to construction supervision, commissioning, start up and handing over the plant to client’s operating and maintenance personnel. My focus in all assignment have been design safety, operability and maintainability, along with due attention to environment protection, project timetable, budget and overall efficiency, standards and best engineering practices.

I have worked in multicultural environments, in different roles in EPC, EP and consulting engineering companies as clients representative dealing with manufacturers, contractors and engineering firms. In addition to technical expertise, I bring to table a wealth of communication and leadership skills. I take pride in my capability to be indispensable asset to both internal and external clients. Wherever I have worked, I have delivered above and beyond my client’s standard expectations. EXPERIENCE

FEB 2019 – APRIL 2020

SENIOR PROCESS ENGINEER, SNC LAVALIN- OIL AND GAS- CALGARY- ALBERTA KEARL 1&2 PLANTS -COGENERATION PLANT UPGARDING- STEAM LINK PROJECT My responsibility in this project was SME role in Feed and detailed design for maximizing Cogen power generation capacity by 20 MW, including steam turbine retrofit, debottlenecking the high pressure, medium pressure and low-pressure steam generation and distribution system by linking steam & condensate systems of two independent oil sands process plants converting to an integrated process and control facility. The other goal of this project is to increase bitumen production of these two plants by 40,000 bbl./d total of 240,000 bbl./d The Project had following highlights:

• Retrofit of 85 MW Cogeneration steam turbine to 105 MW

• Debottlenecking of STG auxiliaries including cooling system

• Debottlenecking of extraction and exhaust steam desuperheating systems.

• Design of interlinking the two plants steam system including control integration to share all three levels of steam to maximize power generation and comply with both plants steam demand.

• Design of warm up and condensate collection and recovery system, targeting condensate free stream flow between two plants

• Dynamic simulation study to analyze transient behavior of interlinked plants in case of incidence in one plant and potential of instability propagation and losing both plants in cascade event and mitigatory actions.

• Design for safety and debottlenecking of relief system.

• Design for pre-commissioning, commissioning and start up Page 2 of 5

Presently the long delivery and main items of the project are already ordered. HAZOP and 3D model review are completed and IFC drawings are issued, waiting for client constructing decision kicks in post COVID-19.

My achievement in this project was satisfaction of my company and client making sure that all required activities for safe design, installing, pre-commissioning and commissioning are well studied and well designed.

JAN 2018 – FEB 2019

SENIOR PROCESS ENGINEER, WOOD PLC (FORMER AMEC FOSTER-WHEELER) My responsibility in this project was study for maximizing Cogen power generation capacity in brown filed project including steam turbine retrofit, steam generation and distribution debottlenecking, linking two independent process plants utilities including High pressure, medium pressure, low pressure steam and low-pressure steam condensate systems. Project study was conducted in four studies:

• Study 1. In this phase the main focus was to study the potential for increasing capacity of present STG and required High pressure steam, define the workable power generation of STG, define the limitations and bottlenecks of Cogen auxiliaries.

• Study 2. In this phase the main focus was on comparing three options of power generation including installing a combined cycle power plant containing GTG, HRSG, Back pressure STG, Fuel gas supply and all required utilities, installing a new STG and expanding the capacity of present Cogen.

• Study 3. In this phase the main focus was on Linking the Steam headers between present plants and to supply the High-pressure steam to potential retrofitted STG and distributing medium and low-pressure steam between two plants

• Study 4. In this phase the focus was to optimize the selected Cogen revamping including, high Level process control philosophy, steam system overpressure protection and containment review, final review of steam links between two plants, start up and warmup, condensate collection and recovery, shutdown hierarchy and defining important parameters of revamped STG for vendor. These studies included high level material balance to increase Bitumen oil production by 25%, hydraulic calculations to define bottlenecks, pipe sizing and review of various operating scenarios and process control.

My achievement in this project was satisfaction of my company and client and client decision to move on to FEED and detail design of this project in next step. Execution of this project will increase about 18 MW to plant power generation capacity and 38 MW to annual average power production of the plant. Moreover, this project will increase both plants availability, reliability and flexibility. This project also will support the project of increasing 25% of bitumen production capacity of both two plants.
