Total years of experience :15 years, 8 Months
Job Role -Team Lead (Process) for UOP C3 Oleflex, Naphtha Complex and UOP Aromatics complex for Designing, Simulation and Modelling Projects and troubleshoot customer’s day to day issues related to their plant.
Achievements:
ACHIEVEMENTS
“BRAVO SILVER AWARD FROM UOP HONEYWELL for completing optimization project for NAPHTHA AND AROMATICS COMPLEX OF NSRP, VIETNAM in record timeline which includes UNISIM Modelling and Design and Case studies for whole complex comprising of 9 units and Customer got a benefit of ~ 2000 USD per day from their operations”
“TEAM AWARD FOR EXECUTING NSRP, VIETNAM PROJECT”
“SAFETY AWARD WINNER FROM HONEYWELL”
“Running case studies for AL-WAHA, SAUDI ARABIA UOP C3-OLEFLEX to predict the plant constraints while there was a major tube leakage in one of the preheaters and there was a need to run at full capacity without any capex”.
“Ran case studies for Binh Son Refinery, Vietnam naphtha complex to understand the constraint while operating in EOR conditions which have saved lot of operating expenditure and deciding on shutdown”
“Designed dual fired heater related calculations to estimate multiple kPIs like fuel consumptions, efficiencies etc. for Total, France which was an urgent requirement for their heater performance and they were already on input data shortage”
Achievements,
As worked from commissioning stage, so there was lot of instability issues with the system. Following are some of the troubleshooting done which reduced unnecessary shutdowns in the Unit.
1. Sudden Natural gas pressure loss from the source but still maintained the plant running with negligible load
2. Sudden Loss in Steam Pressure but still maintained Steam turbine run at a very turndown conditions
3. Extreme Flooding in Cryogenic columns due to frequent change in Feed compositions
4. Extreme Foaming in Absorbers
5. Centrifugal compressors failing at high torque over whole shift- Made changes in Tripping conditions based on the Compressor documents and applied and since then still running fine.
6. Extreme Choking and high delta pressure increase across cold box, determined Hydrates formation conditions and how to mitigate it.
