Total years of experience :42 years, 8 months
I was part of start up team and I have participated and supervised, all operations in the field like..O2 removal by N2, blindes removal, line up, checklist.... Currently I work as operator support and I have as responsibility to control continuous operation of the plant, determine malfunctioning unit by observing control instruments, doing inspection for equipment to determine location and nature of malfunction, such as leaks, breakages, and faulty valves. Determine need for schedules and performs repair and maintenance of equipment...etc
Equipments: gasification reactors, hydrogenation and desulphurization reactors, furnaces, columns, centrifugal pumps, syngas effluent coolers, air coolers
• Continuous monitoring of the pumps, compressors, all equipments and advise immediately board operator and supervisor if there is any disturbance. Checks of operating equipment to verify that no point of leakage is not present; eventually point of leakage should be repaired before they beco As field operator I have as responsibility prosecution all operations from plant in according with board operator and process supervisor(carry out start-up preparation, start-up, normal operations, shutdown of process/utilities lines as per Standard Operation Procedures)
• me too large. Unusual noise and vibration may indicate faulty equipment or failing hangers or support. Safety equipment must be kept in good conditions and ready for immediate use. Checks all closed drain drum that must be have level at minimum.
• Equipments: piston compressors; propane screw compressors package (PLC), furnace (package); centrifugal pumps; absorbtion column with MDEA solution; amine regeneration column; amine filtration package (PLC); molecular sieves; ABB and Yokogawa instrumentations.
• Main responsibilities as Sr.Field Operator was to monitoring all operations from plant in according with board operator and process supervisor, continuous monitoring of the pumps, compressors and all equipments within the plant and advice immediately board operator and supervisor if there is any disturbance. Verifying of operating equipment to check that no point of leakage is not present; eventually point of leakage should be repaired before they become too large. Unusual noise and vibration may indicate faulty equipment or failing hangers or support. Safety equipment must be kept in good conditions and ready for immediate use. Checks all closed drain drum that must be have level at minimum.
• Pre-commissioning, commissioning and start up of two line ammonia plant. As activity I mention: punch listing, air blowing of the piping systems, steam blowing, chemical treatment of carbon dioxide removal system, hydrogen recovery system cleaning and preparing for start up, filling up with catalysts of CO converters, methanators, ammonia converter, primary and secondary reformers.
• Pressure test, leak test for all piping system and equipments, preparation two ammonia tank for ammonia storage, put in service all water coolers (demy water and sea water), put finally gaskets for all piping system together mechanical team, then I took part by our client to start up both ammonia plant up to performance test, production capacity 1750 to/day each.
• As equipments: hydrogenator, sulphur absorbers, reformers (primary and secondary), carbon dioxide converters, carbon monoxide converters, methanators, heat recovery unit, absorbing column, desorption column, pump of different kinds, reversible pumps Man Turbo, compressors Nuovo Pignone, ammonia booster compressors, etc.
• My responsibility as foreman was to coordinate the work of the entire Hot section team of operators and mechanics for the day to day activities that includes normal operations of the plant (I’m directly implied in exploiting the olefins 1, pyrolissis ovens, washing cracked gas, high pressure steam boilers, separation propane-propylene and purification propylene and isomerization fractions C5+), mechanical routine repairs, furnace coils decoking. I was informing Plant Shift Coordinator about the daily activities and request for special actions if any.
• I took part to commissioning activity and start up of the plant Ethylene Plant Hot section including :chemical treatment of the piping systems as well as air and steam blowing of other piping system, checking and put in service all water cooler, pumps, turbo-pumps, etc. After start up I was working as chief operator furnace and washing cracking gas.
• I was working there for 3 years and first I had as activity commissioning with all specific operations, then I took part to start up and I was working as chief operator into control room whence I coordinated all operators in the shift in order to operate in optimum conditions the plant for to obtain vacuum distillated as feed stock for Catalytic Cracking plant.
• As junior operator, I was working initially for measuring the tanks and later on I was working as operator one for all activity in the plant (mixtures, emptying and filling oxidation vessels, pumping from and to other plants).
• In 1979 I got senior position of Shift supervisor. I had as responsibility to coordinate the workers for all activity in the shift.
• Between October 1980 - August 1981 I worked at the Syria Baniyas Refinery, I was sent for start up a modern Bitumen producing plant , there I worked as chief operator.
