P66 Rodeo Refinery Renewable Fuel Project.• Researched corrosion and cracking mechanisms for renewable diesel operation in comparison with conventional hydrocarbon hydroprocessing units. While new stainless steels were specified to prevent intergranular corrosion/cracking due to the high TAN characteristics of renewable feed stock, the research-led material selection maximize the use of existing equipment and saved 15% project capital cost.• Coordinated between Home Office and Supporting Office teams to provide non-stop project development.• Set model and workflow for adopting digital tools and work automation that facilitated work shares and framework setupChevron Salt Lake City Refinery ISOALKY Project • Led SMEs to provide materials, corrosion control, fire protection and welding/inspection in supporting Chevron’s first Alkylation unit using a non-aqueous liquid salt, or ionic liquid.• Studied sensitization mechanism in Nickel-based alloys, including Hastelloy® C-276, C-22, Inconel® 625 and Incoloy® 825, and provided fabrication recommendations in forming, welding and heat treatment.• Developed corrosion protection, heat conservation and fire safety plans by implementing coating systems and state-of- the-art thermal insulations and fireproofing materials.

STV-IP – BPXA Stock Tank Vapor-Intermediate Pressure Compressor ProjectProvided support in preparing Fireproofing Specification. Prepared Equipment Painting and Insulation Schedule which summarizes the painting system, DFT, insulation material, thickness and fireproofing requirements for all major equipment.EMPT – ExxonMobil Point Thomson ProjectEstimated CO2 and H2S corrosion rates for upstream production facilities by using NORSOK M-506 and PREDICT 6.0 simulation. Based on ExxonMobil’s general practices and WorleyParsons’ Arctic experiences, prepared project specifications on materials selection, corrosion monitoring, welding, cathodic protection, painting, insulation and refractory. Prepared Equipment Painting and Insulation Schedule.SEWS – BPXA Synchronized Endicott Water Solution ProjectResearched and surveyed the materials selection for the Seawater Desalination Plant (SWRO). The materials selection focuses on prevent fouling and protect the membrane as well as resist seawater corrosion.SAMREF – SAMREF Clean Fuels ProjectPrepare project specifications on carbon steel equipment and piping in pressure service and specification on CS in wet sour service. As one of the important design basis, the specifications contained Licenser’s proposal, EMRE’s working practices, ASME Code requirements and NACE recommendations. Provided technical support on the refractory design and materials selection for the SRU Incinerator Package.
