• Development of Department’s Best Practice Engineering requirements: DFMEA, PFMEA, UFMEA, Process Validation, Installation Qualification, Operation Qualification, Performance Qualification, Master Validation Plan, in preparation for Green Field/Equipment Relocation Project.• Gained a mastery of the fiber spin process by developing piping and instrumentation diagrams• Determined bio-growth points on process piping, reduced dead end piping legs, simplified clean in place pipe routing for sanitization process.• Lead and managed root cause analysis for fiber membrane wall defects, I implemented equipment PMs and data collection points to monitor and set Key Performance Indicators.• Determine fiber spin department’s spare parts risk, replaced and requalified human machine interface, dope motors, dope pumps, pressure sensors, and independent Watlow PID controllers• Developed and documented a modern process control design with User Required Specifications , purchased, instruments, motors, gearboxes, power and instrument cables, mapped P&IDs to all cable, grateful to my coworker coordinated PLC components and electrical configuration. I am currently installing an additional process line and will complete full Installation, Operation and Performance Qualifications.

• Created and implemented process improvements and operations plans amounting beyond $500,000 reduction to operation fuel costs from fiscal year budget.• Shutdowns: Responsible for safety, supervision, execution, and documentation of annual coal boiler critical safety system functional tests • Utilities department operations process design for Eddyville’s EPA boiler Mact project of $28,000,000• Utilities department operations process design, Controls design, URS writer, Program debugger, for Eddyville’s water expansion via Reverse Osmosis project of $9,000,000• Budget and inventory management for Cargill’s Eddyville facility fuels and energy including coal, natural gas and electric amounting approximately $50,000,000• Advising firm power purchase and peak demand awareness/avoidance to minimize Cargill’s electric bill • Insure month end accounting accuracy for the facility steam, caustic and hydrochloric use through mass balance verification & adjustment of resource allocation• Train technicians in key engineering concepts to enable evidenced-based decision making in unit operations• Create user-friendly process design and updated P&IDs, URS control narratives, SOPs, and optimized layouts for human machine interface and alarm rationalization for process parameters• Design and see implemented process stabilizing continuous improvements through programming modifications to powerhouse and water treatment unit operations pre, during and post renaissance to Delta V platform• Financial loss prevention by identifying the root cause; troubleshooting equipment and improving efficiency through key metric visibility and programming modifications for stabilized operation• Improved baseline operations of water treatment key metrics by implementing stable control theory

· Managed inventory levels to assure product availability through product campaign scheduling until simultaneous production line installations complete· Process design for simultaneous production lines with minimal capital investment in equipment· Acquired crisis management techniques by directing process response to dryer smolders · Performed root cause analysis on persistent dryer smolders and changed operating practices causing them· Cultivated process center lining and alarm rationalizing that simplified controls, reduced manual corrections and lessen plant downtime· Trained technicians about the mill process flows, fiber operation, effects of recycle loops, fiber specific unit operations and the consequences of how fiber skill block can impact the other departments· Updated, refined, and improved SOPs to improve personnel safety, equipment life, and waste reduction

· Obtained a thirty hour Occupational Safety and Health Training Certification · Designed and coordinated alternative fixes to the mill steep sumps piping at 30% cost of original budget· Rerouted sodium bisulfite addition location which enabled tighter controls for chemical addition· Found root cause for pipe hammer causing gasket failures and installed valve snubbers to stop hammer

· Waste reduction through development of deodorizer oil flush matrix to reduce heel reprocessing · Improved access, piping upgrades, and upsized chemical tanks making chemical unloads safer and fewer· Reduced waste water turbidity by creating interchangeable oil decanter overflow sleeves · Updated SOPs to extend equipment life, reduce risk of oil smolders, and time consolidation for filter cleaning

· Gained a strong comprehension of design through completing the facilities extensive P&ID updates· Found alternative solution to plants waste water permit deviations by implementing a quality control recycle· Reduced plant downtime by fixing the heat trace documentation errors and updated the facility heat trace set points· Improved reliability of fat separator pump by finding an alternative pump that could handle highly viscous streams
