I'm responsible in providing process engineering expertise and knowledge to support technology, capital projects, operations, maintenance, safety / health and environmental, process safety management, intellectual assets and commercial.
My role is key in the evaluation and deployment of new technologies to support the business growth strategy and the protection of intellectual assets.

Implemented process improvement plans to increased thermoplastic elastomers to be used in asphalt, adhesives and plastics production capacity by 25 percent.
Recommended process projects solutions to support operations goals for production, reliability, safety and quality.
Worked with production, engineering, maintenance and environmental / health and safety to maintain and improve the various processes in the plant.

Implemented reliability strategy & process improvement plans focusing on investigations to solved complex problems that mitigate long term and/or high impact operational threats to the distilling area.

Selected Accomplishments:

• Increased column heater cycle run by 36 months and saved $2.9M by researching and analyzing effects of processing light oils in distilling area.

• Reduced 7 pumps repairing cost in 20% (each one repairing cost over $150K) by enhanced emergency repairs criteria and raised pumps operating efficiencies.

• Enhanced amine contactor operation and saved $500K in amine solution by optimizing liquid temperature and increasing column pressure to avoid foaming formation.

Conducted technical assurance and technical support for the assigned area. Established leadership and guidance to the process team supporting the area. Implemented proactive technical support to help ensure the assigned process units and systems are operated in a safe, environmentally compliance and efficient way.

Selected Accomplishments:

• Created and promoted margin Friday’s concept to identify at-hand optimization opportunities carry-out through management of change or projects, saving $8.5K within first year of implementation.

• Reduced hydro-sulfur area operating downtime in 2%, increased equipment’s reliability by coordination with other disciplines mitigations steps for top 20 threats or issues identified.

• Improved hydro-sulfur area image through process safety in 1%. Achieved results by consistently execute high quality technical assurance for management of change, proposed projects and critical process safety items.

• Reduced gasoline reactors turnover for regeneration in 2%, saving $1M within one year by control coke balance distribution through reactors and maintained catalyst activity for unit performance.

• Evaluated utilities chemicals consumption rates and third party treatment program against analysis results. Reduced expenses in $50K per year by increased operation cycles.

• Improved work quality during design process in 1% by mentoring engineers and advising contractors about usage of appropriate company standards and regulations requirements.
