As a Technical Professional Engineer I worked on the Gorgon Project investigating the expansion of a fourth LNG Train. My role involves:
• Hydraulic calculation of the utility system using a flow modelling software Fathom AFT.
• Produce Process Flow Diagrams for various utility systems.
• Compile calculation reports.
• Provide support in investigating tie-ins for the LNG Train 4 facilities.
• Reviewing and updating Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams.
• Updating Process design reports.
• HYSYS simulation modelling for a Domestic Gas system mainly for a hydraulic study. The aim of the study is to analyse the feasibility of increasing the throughput of the DOMGAS system without significant modifications to the existing equipment.
In addition to that I also took up a role as a secretary and communications person within IMPACT. IMPACT is a young professionals networking and development organization within KBR that works to involve professionals from 0-7 years industrial experience to take part in business as well as social events organized within the company. My role involved secretarial tasks.

My role as a Process Engineer involved a variety of responsibilities: • Pressure calculations to estimate the integrity of the robustness of a pressure vessel.
• Produced an assessment into the effects of storing degraded radioactive fuel in an enclosed vessel.
• Supported the design of various new build plants to process radioactive waste into products for long-term storage.
• Modified and checked engineering process flow diagrams.
• Planned a hydrogen-sampling regime.
• Completed various pressure drop and pump design calculations.
• Worked as part of the Sellafield site strategy team.
• Investigated the waste management across the site.
• Gained a good insight into the waste management hierarchy and its applications.
MEng Research Project • The design and commissioning of a controlled low oxygen concentration enclosure. This system mirrors a condition that occurs in tumour cells and which is critical in the effect of irradiation of malignant cells. Working independently by developing and adapting to my personal project plan. Assignments undertaken included; literature survey, P&ID, mechanical drawings, safety design and testing of equipment. Vorchem, Virtual Refinery Module • This module portrayed the fundamental processes of oil refining and the necessary equipment used. Entailing exploration of the oil refinery, research, quality control of products, problem solving, economics of final product and special focus on health and safety.
