Managing the Pre-commissioning and commissioning activities for the newly installed fuel gas conditioning unit and associated equipment for 15 megawatt power plant for Garraf development facility operation at Garraf Oil Field.

Research and development of a novel oscillatory-Baffled-Microreactor for the production of fine crystals with narrow particle size distribution. Research activity were included:
► Fabrication of micro reactors/crystallizers microfluidics
► Nano particle size evaluation and validation using Dynamic Light Scattering and Scanning Electron Microscopy.
►Engineering computations and CFD simulations using MATLAB and COMSOL Multiphysics.
Apart from the R&D activity, I was responsible as a teaching assistance with 750+ hours for:
► Conducting undergraduate and postgraduate tutorial sessions for engineering subjects such as: Chemical reaction engineering, Fluid mechanics, Particulate technology and multiphysics simulation on heat and mass transfer phenomena with finite element analysis (FEA) using COMSOL Multiphisics.
► Conducting undergraduate and foundation laboratory sessions in the field of Heat and mass transfer, Fluid mechanics, Separation process and chemistry.

Participated in the completion, commissioning, start-up and operation of Al Nasiriya water treatment plant ( A $266 Million Project). This project supplied 10, 000 cubic meter per hour of fresh and drinkable water to five cities in Thi Qar province, southern of Iraq, with estimated population of 500 thousands. In addition, the project includes more than 100km of pipelines, 3 pump stations and five elevated storage tanks.

The main duties I carried out during the commissioning and start-up phase were:

► Commissioning and Start-up of pumps-control, instrumentation, PLC, SCADA and radio telemetry systems.

► Commissioning, starting-up and calibrating of different instrumentations such as: flow and pressure transmitter, static pressure and ultrasonic level transmitters, turbidity meters, Chlorine gas detectors and many other instrumentations and equipments.

► PLC, SCADA and HMI systems programming and debugging.

► Commissioning of booster pump valves, pressure sustaining valves and altitude control valves at the main plant the remote booster pump stations and the elevated water storage tanks.

► Conducted series of training workshops for the end user on the the basics of Programmable Logic Controller and the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of PLC and SCADA systems for the plant.
