Developing AI Models to extract maximum value from Petrochemical processes

Houston, Texas, United States

● Maintained health of comprehensive plant models (in ROMeo) for two olefins units across a range of production rates to deliver optimized run plans which maximize profit● Rapidly conducted economy studies for multiple $10M+ projects as plant conditions change

Corpus Christi, Texas, United States

● Engineered rapid and detailed solutions to resolve startup issues, including an innovative hydraulic solution which prevented major start-up delays of >2 months on a $1B project● Lead a cross-functional team in over 400 safety system commissioning tests and key equipment verifications for licensor approval to startup ● Resolved numerous capacity and environmental constraints to help the unit increase rates and improve reliability, such as a bypass method to keep the unit running in upset for $600k/day● Provided technical direction, quality assurance, and solutions for ExxonMobil’s first $100M ethylene oxide catalyst load

Houston, Texas, United States

● Lead inventor and pending patent-holder for new, proprietary process in the advanced carbon technologies platform. Pilot development underway, with projected margins of $120M+/yr ● Utilized process simulation software (PRO/II) to design efficient xylenes separation process (patent-pending) ● Pioneered data analytics as JMP- power-user in the aromatics group to extend catalyst life and actively predict process safety events before they could occur ● Drove both technical and cost analysis to justify using new catalyst technology which resulted in 800 k$/yr improvement and became best in class across the aromatics industry

Houston, Texas, United States

● Conducted Gate 1 economic modelling and industry research to evaluate incentives for three prospective technologies in aromatics and olefins.● Optimized feedstock and process configuration for two technologies, developed an advantaged base case design which provided incentive and framework for the continued research effort

Houston, Texas, United States

● Developed the primary process model for the greenfield GCGV MEG plant, and worked cross-organizationally to tune the thermodynamics package for the plant● Analyzed competitor sustainability metrics and strategies to influence direction of a new sustainability benchmarking initiative which ExxonMobil now includes in its yearly report

Findlay, Ohio, United States

● Developed a program to optimize loading volumes of tanker trucks based on real-time field data from terminals to maintain DOT-compliance and avoid overweight fines● Standardized Cause & Effect safety documentation format for fire protection systems across all light product terminals ● Benchmarked and standardized alarm setpoints for butane blending across multiple terminals

Greater Houston

● Debottlenecked the crude unit by recovering a coker slop stream to process elsewhere, by adjusting tower operations for the slop stream to meet specifications for that unit ● Developed new process data historian screens for one of the largest units in the facility
