Process Engineer providing support for the safe operations of the Defense Waste Processing Facility. Major work includes:- On call process engineering support for batch operations including procedures, mass balances, chemistry and rheology support, troubleshooting, process trending, and effective communication between organizations.- Extensive safety and engineering analysis including flammability analysis, heat transfer evaluations, and understanding/improving chemistry prediction in coordination with the Savannah River National Lab.- Flowsheet Transition Support as well as project support for reducing facility cycle time.

Aiken, South Carolina, United States

Participated in a rotational program where I contributed in three separate engineering groups: Rapid Response and Maintenance Engineering, Flowsheet Engineering, and Process and Regulatory Engineering. Major work and accomplishments include:- Worked with a small team to create a process flow diagram (PFD) and detailed report for a new cost-effective wastewater handling process.- Performed extensive troubleshooting to determine the root cause of major equipment failure and evaluate the safety of the situation. Worked to determine short and long term operating strategies as well as ensure regulatory compliance.
