Tiberiu Nicolae Lascae

• Led and coordinated field operators during complex start-up, shut-down, and emergency procedures,
maintaining strict adherence to all safety rules and HSE instructions
• Managed operations of key installations including GTU, SRU, TGU, and SWS Units using a D.C.S-Emerson
type DeltaV system
• Directed process optimization by interpreting laboratory analysis results and making critical decisions to
ensure all products met quality specifications
• Oversaw revisions and overhauling activities of the entire plant, ensuring timely completion and minimal
disruption to production schedules
• Mentored and collaborated closely with field teams to assure proper execution of operation maneuvers and
continuous process improvement

Project Scope: Full-cycle commissioning, start-up, and process authority for an Atmospheric Distillation Unit
• Dual Technical & Operational Authority: Held simultaneous responsibility as both Lead Technologist Engineer
and Commissioning Manager, serving as the highest technical and operational reference on the project
• Process Authority: Defined and validated all operating targets, cut-points, heat and mass balances, and alarm
set-points, providing final sign-off on process performance and product quality
• Commissioning Leadership: Orchestrated the full transition from Cold Commissioning (leak testing, nitrogen
purging, loop checks) through Hot Start-up to stable on-spec production within 4 days of first hydrocarbon
introduction
• Safety Management: Chaired Pre-Startup Safety Reviews (PSSR) and managed SIMOPS operations, ensuring
zero-incident performance throughout the high-risk start-up phase
• DCS Configuration: Managed the DeltaV Distributed Control System during first feed, stabilizing PID loops and
fine-tuning pressure and temperature gradients to meet design basis
• SOP & ESD Development: Authored the complete suite of Standard Operating Procedures and Emergency
Shutdown protocols for a brand-new installation
• Stakeholder Management: Primary interface between EPC contractors, field crews, and project ownership,
resolving technical and operational conflicts in real time

• Project Governance: spearheading the full-scale commissioning and operational readiness of an Atmospheric
Distillation Unit, ensuring 100% alignment with EPC contractual milestones.
• Systemization & Handover: Orchestrating the transition from Construction to Operations by managing the
Mechanical Completion (MC) process and verifying the Ready for Commissioning (RFC) status of all sub
systems.
• Strategic Safety Leadership: Chairing Pre-Startup Safety Reviews (PSSR) and managing SIMOPS (Simultaneous
Operations) to ensure zero-incident performance during the high-risk Hot Start-up phase.
• Asset Initialization: Directing the introduction of first hydrocarbons and stabilizing the plant into steady-state
production within a record 4-day window.
• Operational Readiness: Authoring and implementing a comprehensive suite of Standard Operating Procedures
(SOPs) and Emergency Shutdown (ESD) protocols for the new installation.
• Stakeholder Liaison: Serving as the primary interface between the Project Technologists, EPC contractors, and
site field crews to resolve real-time logic bottlenecks and technical misalignments.

Project Scope:
• Operational Leadership: Coordinate all operational activities, serving as the primary liaison between the
Technologist Engineer and the field crew
• System Initialization: Directed the transition from Cold Commissioning (leak testing, loop checks, and
nitrogen purging) to Hot Start-up, successfully introducing first hydrocarbons into the system
• DCS Configuration & Optimization: Managed the Distributed Control System (DCS) during the critical First
Feed phase, stabilizing PID loops and adjusting pressure/temperature gradients to reach steady-state
production
• Emergency & Technical Troubleshooting: Identified and resolved critical logic bottlenecks and mechanical
misalignments in real-time, preventing equipment damage and reducing downtime during the stabilization
phase
• SOP Development: Authored and implemented the initial Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for shift
handovers and emergency shutdown (ESD) protocols for a brand-new installation
• Production Quality: Led the team to achieve on-spec product quality within 4 days of start-up, meeting all
chemical and safety requirements set by the Technologist Engineer

• Monitored and controlled all aspects of unit operations (static and dynamic equipment: Compressors, Pumps,
Columns, Reactors, Heaters, etc.), taking responsibility for equipment status
• Verified and maintained critical plant parameters (pressures, temperatures, flows, levels) within operational
limits
