Work History

Technical Service Engineer

HF Sinclair
05.2015 - Current
  • Mentoring junior engineers with basic engineering tasks, including deciphering equipment documentation and basic specs
  • Responsible for day to day optimization on many units. These included an FCC, Alky, NHT, DHTU, WWTP.
  • Key contact for PRV and Relief System Study. Generated work scope for current and ongoing studies.
  • Key contact in major FCC revamp project. Point man on catalyst reformulations and catalyst changes in a majority of covered units.

Senior Process Engineer

Solvay Specialty Polymers
01.2015 - 05.2015
  • Reduced downtime for screening Quench PPS by adding an acetic acid addition system to solvent recovery. This more than doubled screening rate and reduced dryer cleanouts from 2x per year to every third year.
  • Worked with R/D engineers to install and prove Raman spectrometers in PPS Reactors.
  • Optimized screening mesh and material to increase lifetime of screens.

Process Engineer

Chevron Phillips Chemical
01.2005 - 12.2014
  • Responsible for day to day optimization of Ryton production.
  • Tracked feedstock and ordering long lead chemicals, specifically pDCB. NaSH, and membrane grade NaOH.
  • Responsible for process critical changes, including upgrading filter cloths, increased NMP recovery through steam optimization and batch distillation optimizations .
  • Day to day analysis of process data with immediate troubleshooting and recommendation generation.

Education

Bachelor of Science - Chemical Engineering

Iowa State University
Ames, IA
12.2004

Skills

  • Proficient with MS Office Products, specifically Excel, Word, and Powerpoint
  • Proficient with process simulation software Specific experience with Aspen Plus and Hsysy Modeling
  • Proficient with PS PPM Software used in PRV Modeling
  • Trained on Cause Map Analysis
  • PHA Participant with 2 occurring under LOPA at CPChem and 3-4 at HFS without LOPA consideration

Additional Information

- NMP savings from CPChem optimization estimate at $1 MM per year in 2007.

- Dehydrator batch distillation revamp added approximately $7 MM dollars of increased production margin in 2012.

- Acid addition to Quench process increased on stream factor by 30%. Estimate value of $30-40 MM per year.

- Batch acid vapor scrubber and recovery system was able to keep new tanks in compliance at HF Sinclair in 2016.

- Water softening saved $2 MM dollars per year of downtime at the FCC unit.

- Reformulation of FCC catalyst allowed unit charge rates of 28-30 MBPD. Approximate $3 MM year of value.

- Penex dryer optimizations led to increased catalyst life. Life expectancy increased by 200% leading to saving of $1 MM per year.
