Work Experience previous: Sohar Aluminium Company.

Oman.

Designation: Potline process lead engineer

Period of employment: January 2008 to June 2011

Roles and responsibilities:

• Experience in pre-op and commissioning of potline process control system

• Experience in green field potline start up and normalization.

• Reduction key user for SAP document management system and responsible for upload of all documents of reduction department.

• Experience in potline amperage ramp up from 360 to 375 kA.

• Accountable for the metal management between cast house and reduction.

• Responsible for raw material accounting and calculation of potline weekly and monthly reports.

• Accountable for validation and releasing the pot line weekly and monthly reports for monitoring the potline performance.

• Responsible to ensure that the Alpsys potline process control system- Level 1 and Level 2 functions as per specifications.

• Conceive and develop software application for storage and analysis of process measurement analysis. A new system called EPMS (Electrolytic Pot Measurement System) has been developed for entering, storing, analysis potline process control data.

• Experienced in data extraction from Oracle database using discoverer and excel queries.

• Focal point for IT changes requests with respect to network management and for any change in IT systems at reduction.

• Resolve service requests in alliance with vendor to correct non conformities and roll out new version of EPROM in pot controllers after testing the corrections on simulator.

• Accountable for all change requests and ensuring proper functioning of Alpsys.

• Responsible to roll out improvements or changes to potline level 2 process control systems.

• An important achievement during this period is auditing the entire metal management function in Alpsys and ensuring a zero shuttle rejection status between cast house and Alpsys.

• Regularly observe the interface rejection of Alpsys with other sectors (Laboratory, Cast house and substation) and ensure the rejections are resolved.

• Reduction coordinator for the implementation of manufacturing execution system and key user for reduction-Manufacturing execution system.

Work Experience Previous: Hindalco Industries Limited, India

(An Aditya Birla Group company)

Designation: Manager

Period of employment: July 2002 to October 2007

Roles and responsibilities:

• Experience in brown field expansion of potline.

• Experience in technology conversion and potline start up.

• Accountable for the testing, installation and conducting the site acceptance tests (SAT) for the pot controllers in the potlines.

• Team leader for the construction of cathodes for the new potline (Brown field project with increase in number of pots from 210 to 480 pots)

• Responsible for the quality control during the pot lining for the brown field expansion.

• Leader of pot line process control team for measurement of process control parameters like bath temperature, voltage drops, elevation for heel metal accounting, bath and metal sampling. Analysis of pot line process control data for suggesting suitable corrective actions.

• Innovation: Logic for Anode Effect Prediction had been developed by self for better control on alumina concentration in bath and for avoiding unwanted energy consuming anode effects. This logic built into the pot controller software predicts an AE by continuously monitoring the deviation of resistance and adds pre-set quantity of alumina based on set logics.

• Development of the Mathematical model of the cathode of Aluminum smelting pot through ANSYS software for simulating design changes to increase the productivity of the aluminum reduction cell.

• Proto type cathode design has been developed using this model for amperage intensification. The new cathode design developed using the mathematical simulation model had been installed and tested successfully.

• Experience in cast house quality management functions like mould geometry measurement, hydrogen level measurement in liquid metal, impurity count using PoDFA samples. Responsible for answering and control of customer complaints with respect to rolling ingots and con-cast coils

• Management Information system: Releasing the plant information reports- Daily, Weekly and Monthly

• Management Information System: Preparation of management information reports for Quarterly, Half yearly and annual reviews and preparation of yearly budget and 5 year rolling plans.

• Carried out Aluminium liquid metal and hot metal costs benchmarking exercise for the company.
