Boiler and Refrigeration Operator

Pasco Processing LLC
10.2023 - Current

Contact: Yuvani Noriz. Boiler and Refrigeration Supervisor. Tel: (+1) 509 303 8244.

  • Performing defrost procedures on IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) tunnels to maintain optimal freezer performance and prevent operational issues.
  • Performing Operating Procedures (Initials Startup, Normal Operations, Temporary Operations, Emergency Shutdown, Emergency Operations, Normal Shutdown, Startup following an Emergency Shutdown) for R717 refrigeration system (condenser, high and low temp. stagers), boiler system (including blow down procedure and restarting from failure), pneumatic, high-pressure water and fire system, plant exhaust and heaters. All this upholding industry standards and regulatory compliance related to refrigeration systems.
  • Handling the boiler feed system: pumps, shut-off valves, bypass valves, softener, anti-scale and oxygen inhibitor system.
  • Ensuring proper operation to refrigeration system and piping parts: compressors, evaporators, condensers, metering devices, pumps, vessels and drums, purgers, anhydrators, stop, shutoff, relief, check, solenoid, expansion, pressure-regulating, and float-type regulator valves.
  • Checking, calibrating and interpreting data (numerical and graphical) for the decision making on the compressors HMI and on the Distributed Control System (pressure, temperature, level, relative-humidity, current, electrical consumption, electrical power and refrigeration capacity).
  • Completed root cause analysis (RCA) to identify issues, understand problems and implement corrective plans.
  • Conducting Ammonia leak detection using calibrated gas detectors to ensure safe conditions before performing maintenance or corrective actions.
  • Provide training and orientation for new staff members, fostering a team-oriented work environment.
