• Developed ~ $3.5M scope of work for 2020 maintenance outage• Participated in several Root Cause Analysis related to various plant bad actors• Generated the scope for the replacement & upgrade of failed safety critical assets• Developed scope of work for FRP header inspection and repairs following an unplanned shutdown

• Developed project scope of work for a $1.5M wet Cl2 header replacement• Managed 6 outage projects totaling approximately $10M TIC. 5 of these projects were considered critical path to the completion of the outage and the startup of the LEXAN, Phosgene and Chlor Alkali production units. All 6 projects were completed on time and on or under budget.• Replaced 2, 42,000 gallon API 650 rubber lined carbon steel caustic storage tanks. Completed the design, bidding, fabrication and… Show more • Developed project scope of work for a $1.5M wet Cl2 header replacement• Managed 6 outage projects totaling approximately $10M TIC. 5 of these projects were considered critical path to the completion of the outage and the startup of the LEXAN, Phosgene and Chlor Alkali production units. All 6 projects were completed on time and on or under budget.• Replaced 2, 42,000 gallon API 650 rubber lined carbon steel caustic storage tanks. Completed the design, bidding, fabrication and commissioning ahead of schedule and on budge.• Completed the reconstruction of diaphragm cell line chlorine drying system. Oversaw the replacement of 1 vessel, the repair of 5 vessels/columns and approximately 100 feet of dual laminate piping.• Participated in weekly global discussions with companywide chlorine and phosgene experts.• Drove effort to improve site standards/specifications related to chlorine/phosgene piping and valves.• Participated in PHA, Fault Tree Analysis and LOPA for process in the LEXAN chemical operation.• Managed an ongoing effort to replace failed/failing steel in the Chlor Alkali plant. Drove an effort to complete yearly steel inspections in the caustic evaporator to track rate of steel decay. Developed a project scope of work for a multiyear repair/replacement strategy for the caustic evaporator. Oversaw the replacement of a 6 bay pipe rack while the plant was operating. Show less

Estimated and presented to management costs required to repurpose existing caustic piping for a higher concentration of caustic Resized the product pump in the membrane evaporator area to increase its flow rate to increase production capacity for the area Audited the membrane cell room, discussed findings with the cell renewal technicians, and evaluated the method by which cells are repurposed and improved cell turn over time Performed a RCA on caustic specification in the… Show more Estimated and presented to management costs required to repurpose existing caustic piping for a higher concentration of caustic Resized the product pump in the membrane evaporator area to increase its flow rate to increase production capacity for the area Audited the membrane cell room, discussed findings with the cell renewal technicians, and evaluated the method by which cells are repurposed and improved cell turn over time Performed a RCA on caustic specification in the caustic shipping area and corrected processEvaluated and consulted with vendor to improve the method by which we add sodium thiosulfate to waste material to remove chlorine, reducing chlorine releases and lowering thiosulfate usageWorked with operators and engineers to commission the new bleach facility by working on MOCs, attending and leading PSSRs, participating in RCAs, and participating in a PHA review of the area Show less

Analyzed viscosity and density of various imidazoles with a viscometer and densitometerAnalyzed heat capacity of various imidazoles with the use of a differential scanning calorimeterAnalyzed the gas capture capacity of various imidazole and organic compounds under the effects of pressure and temperature and in the presents of various gasesMeasured conductivity of various imidazoles with various amounts of different lithium salts with a conductivity meter

Performed and presented 4 experiments simulating industrial processesLed a team of four on an enzyme reaction experimentPrepared and presented a heat exchanger optimization to a University professor
