During my work in Clyde refinery in operational support role as part of production/technology team, I had the chance to get exposure and to work in liaise with operation, maintenance, plant engineers and plant controllers and appreciate their job. I am responsible of 3 boilers, demineralization plant, softening plant, cooling tower and biotreater plant.
My Duties included providing technical direction, monitoring and advice on plant optimization for the utilities plants, where I implemented consistent identification of potential threats and opportunities and the translation of these into timely investigations and improvement actions. And providing plant assistance and technical advice on operating problems, processing constraints and all process matters. Such as, on-site monitoring and operational input during shut-downs, start-ups and abnormal operating modes. Other duty was ensuring that daily focus is maintained on running the plant and that work priorities are aligned with plant operational and maintenance needs. Furthermore, I was providing technical direction and leadership in developing strategic plans for the utilities process and process control configuration. This entails the evaluation of various process unit upgrades and additions to the utilities plants. I also was providing cost effective technical solutions to constraints and emergent problems. I gave support to Operations in the delivery of performance targets. And alarm management at all utilities process units as per ESP requirement. My Duties also included, managing the interface of maintenance activities between Process, production, operation, asset engineers and maintenance. I also has exposure to acid gas treating for stripping water unit and SCOT unit.
All the above resulted in developing my troubleshooting skills.
In addition, during the start up activity in July/09 I had a chance to be a pre-start up safety review lead for Platformer, HDT, BRU and movement plants. I also developed pre-start up conditioning plan for the biotreater to prepare it for start up. I prepared a venerability report for all the units I am responsible for and followed up with maintenance to make sure they are fixed before start up.
MY duties also included working aligned with finance, supply and chain teams to develop gas and electricity contracts. I provide them with technical and operation support, and advised on fluctuations
One of my duties was to monitor the gas and electricity consumptions in the refinery and advice the supplier with next day nomination and do monthly forecasting. I also developed a philosophy to help the operators to control the gas consumption within the contract limits
I developed my HSE knowledge, particularly when I applied management of change process. Pre-Start Up-Safety Review and HAZOPs. And also by providing support for the implementation and maintenance of HSSE critical work processes - such as HEMP, IPF and TA.
My Duties also included working with Environment team to make sure that the environmental regulation and legislations are in place, by monitor the plant performance accordingly. Such as, meeting the discharge water to river spec, discharge water to trade water sewer specs. Also flue gases specs from boilers to stack.
