PDVSA
مجموع سنوات الخبرة :20 years, 1 أشهر
• Led the process for Distillation unit turnaround, making repairs that increased the utilization factor from 58% to 75%, allowing to increase unit throughput in 20 KBD, with earnings of 22 MM $ / year
• Led the process for modification in piping that increased flexibility in naphtha processing, eliminating common circuits in two systems, allowing to keep slop reprocessing in distillation units while aligning feed to naphtha stabilizer, minimizing slop inventory.
• Led the process for installation of new feed pumps in dewaxing unit, increasing the service factor from 0% to 100%, with earnings of 48 MM $ / year.
• Led and spearheaded written and verbal presentation to General Management from Technical-Operative studies made to Process Units in order to decide operating continuity based on results and evaluations
• Designed and executed operational strategies for piping replace recommended by Fixed Equipment Engineers in NMP treatment unit
• Applied strategies with personnel management that allowed to decrease overtime hours
• Updated training programs for operators, making audits assuring knowledge from programs updated.
• Updated SOP / EOP
• Assured necessary training for Chief Plants in safety software for statistical process.
• Reviewed budget assuring that money spent it´s on target.
• Proposed new routings to air supply to control valves from Asphalt Dispatch, which will allow to increase MTBF in pumps from 1 month to 6 - 7 months.
• Direct supervisor of 1 Plant Manager. Indirect supervisor of technical crew (2 Process Engineers, 1 Rotative Equipment Engineer, 1 Control and Instrumentation Engineer, 1 Plant Engineers and 1 Electrical Engineer, as well as 9 plant operators, 5 Control Room Supervisors and 5 Area Supervisors).
• Contributed to the development of personnel assigned to the units, assuring the appropriate training for every operator position in the unit (Process and safety). Identify potential personnel to Supervising positions
• Leading role in providing technical support / troubleshooting to Lube Oil units, providing innovative solutions, along with Process Engineers.
• Managed process units reliability for compliance with the with the BOG programs in terms of quality, volume, time and safety, securing a 90+% in service, availability and utilization factors.
• Assured for compliance for budget performance, through monitoring of operational and maintenance expenses.
• Provide technical operational support, ensuring compliance with the programs in terms of quality, volume and time.
• Ensure compliance with industrial safety standards, by monitoring the indicators of the Safety Plan.
• Ensure reliability and availability of the units during its scheduled run.
• Monitor budget performance and behaviour of the consumption of inputs, through monitoring of management indicators.
• Contribute to the development of personnel assigned to the units.
• Supervise the operational and maintenance activities associated with the process of plant shutdown.
• Monitoring: Make a monthly report from the process units, indicating load, yields, operational events, bottlenecks and recommendations to improve the throughput of the units. Daily visits to the field to detect deviations. Share the information with the operations people and solve the problems.
• Design: Specify new equipment (Drums, heat exchangers, towers internals, pumps) and facilities to increase the units flexibility and throughput. Management of process simulators (Pro II, Inplant, Hextran)
• Inspections: During the turnarounds of the units inspect the main equipments (Towers, drums, lines) and made sure that are in optimal conditions for the next run.
• Evaluating and Design of control strategies: Evaluate the existing control strategies and designing of new ones, trying to minimize the process variations and bottlenecks.
• Turnarounds: Multidisciplinary work to define the scope for the main objectives for the unit. Planning / Execution
• Correctives and preventives actions Coordinator: Review of the administrative procedures of the organization, detecting improving areas. Attending internals and external audits.
