I also provide all technical checking for the group prior to being issued to our customer. *Provide Process support to operations to debottleneck existing facilities*Provide Project management of operationally funded projects up to $5MM.*Provide Process support and concept development support to Commercial

duties include being the lead designer on all new process associated with natural gas processing , natural gas liquid handling, and natural gas storage and pipelines for

Baton Rouge Rhodia complex comprises of two facilities a sulfuric acid and an organic plant. * Developed scope and managed multiple projects within the two facilities, these projects ranged in value between $15,000 to $1.5MM. All projects considered maintenance of earning and development payout. * Fluid and Heat transfer modeling of spent sulfuric acid furnace to correct hot spots that were forming causing reduced refractory life and reliability. Implemented solution improving total OEE by 8%* Designed and executed project for replacement sulfur deliver system, used for increased capacity and improved reliability for use in the sulfuric acid plant* Provide engineering for operations to identify process debottlenecking and energy payout projects

Venice Complex, a 1.3 BCF natural gas processing plant that comprises of: glycol dehydration, amine treating, refrigerated lean oil absorption, cryogenic plant, gathering system, storage wells, marine terminal, and power generation. Manage all Complex projects which range in value of $15,000 to 2.0 million dollars. The projects consist of Maintenance of Earning, Development Payout, and ES&H projects. The projects usually require but are not limited to Management of Change, Process Safety Management, PSSR's, PHA's, and training of personnel. Duties expected while running the project include; Monthly forecast, Managing Contractors, and Bid package design reviews. Perform efficiency calculations on Turbo-machinery, process equipment, and fired equipment. Based on findings design changes were made in addition with working with operations and maintenance to improve reliability and improve the overall efficiency. Trained operations and Maintenance on proper boiler water treating, and maintenance. Saved 1.2 million dollars/year in annual repair costs. Worked with the Commercial Development group on new contracts with existing and new customers. Acted as the facilities process engineer these duties included process simulations for improved recoveries that were used for economic bases in Development Payout Projects or troubleshooting existing systems for operations. Developing operator tools to be used at the gathering station for trending gas turbine efficiency which was used to trigger preventive maintenance work orders. Planner and Coordinator of unit shutdowns within the Complex. Function as Sr. Maintenance Engineer duties include running Root Cause Failure Analysis, Vibration Program, and working to develop mechanical integrity program for piping and vessels

Troubleshoot and kinetically model Dynegy Midstream Services wastewater system during times of high COD/BOD loading. Provide weekly progress reporting to Dynegy Lab personnel and recommendations for the adjustment to the unit to maintain compliance. Designed a 120gpm-wastewater plant for Dynegy Midstream Services. This consisted of biological reactor design, equipment sizing, piping, filtration, oil water separation, and electrical distribution. Manage the installation of the plant from design to startup. Evaluated the use of using high temperature microbes at Orion Refining to deal with the added heat load at the inlet to the wastewater plant. This consisted of operating a pilot reactor onsite and modeling the conversion of COD/BOD at the elevated process temperatures. Based on the results a proposal was made on how to adapt the plant to meet the new conditions. Designed a 20gpm skid based wastewater unit for Baker Huges New Iberia Facility to handle oil wash water and provided onsite monitoring on a monthly basis. Designed a 60gpm land based industrial wastewater system for Global Envirotec Port of Iberia facility to handle port wash water from industry inside and around the port which was transported to the facility for treatment.
