As a Senior Process Systems Engineer, my responsibilities were the full development of P&ID’s and its related deliverables through the necessary hydraulic/line sizing calculations and liaison with other disciplines. I have worked on a Crude Rebuild Project of a refinery that was partly burned down, a Gasification plant producing ammonia for which I was responsible to develop the Sulfur Recovery Unit P&ID’s followed by refinery de-bottlenecking and expansion project for which I did hydraulic calculations and develop the Design Pressure and Temperature conditions. My last project was a grassroots 3.4 Mtpa LNG plant to be developed in Gladstone Australia. The Unit I was responsible for is the LNG storage and off-loading facilities development which included hydraulic calculations and implementing surge analysis results into newly developed P&ID’s. Besides utilizing Bechtel’s hydraulic simulation software for line sizing and equipment sizing, I also analyzed and evaluated new revisions of the software before it was released.
