Kelly Kokoski

• Manage PVC quality and productivity for the site
• Lead “PVC Formulator” for the site.
• Interpret railcar sample results for various quality parameters and determine product grade based on in-process data and sample results.
• Investigate root cause for all out of specification product and determine opportunities for quality improvement
• Lead ongoing and future trials being performed and/or proposed at the plant under the Manufacturer’s Authorization policy. Liaison between PVC Technical Service Center and plant management.

Experience working in the following areas: PVC Reactors, VCM Shipping/Storage, Reactor Charge Systems, Solution Preparation, Ammonia Refrigeration, and VCM Recovery downstream of Reactors

• Enhanced Reactor Reliability, Operability, and Safety through various projects and efforts
• Identified several process safety vulnerabilities that could have led to an environmental or safety related incident and proposed and/or implemented adequate solutions.
• Identified inadequate layers of protection within the Reactor Lockout Plan and Return to Service Procedure. Implemented procedural and process control changes to address the vulnerabilities.
• Executed a project to remove the Reactor Overhead Condensers that resulted in HES improvements and maintenance and process related cost savings.
• Identified the root cause of a process related issue with a pump in the VCM Recovery unit resulting in consistently high levels in the intermediate tank. Addressing this issue resulted in increased productivity and an increase in VCM usage efficiency.
• Determined primary source of ammonia fugitive emissions resulting in the need to purchase ammonia less frequently.
• Leader of an Incident Investigation team associated with a greater than Reportable Quantity release of VCM that resulted in a documented Major Event for the company. Developed a "Why-Tree" analysis to detail sequence of events and root cause
