Hyfé is creating the refinery of the future - turning plant waste into chemicals that allow the world to make products without petroleum.

• Start up of $250M capital investment to operations integrity management system, ensuring flawless implementation of safety, reliability, and margin improvement strategies. • Utilized Bluebeam, AutoDesk Design Review, Plant Manager SagePlus, SimSci PROII, and Internal fluid modeling software for contractor design verification and development assistance. • Designed steam tracing network for piping, vessels, and instruments in heavy hydrocarbon service. • Contributed to safety mitigation risk assessments, 30-60-90% model reviews, and hazard andoperability studies.

• Drove repairs of failed dewatering and PLC systems to improve water treatment and reduce hazardous waste.• Garnered funding for environmental improvement initiatives that saved $1M per year in waste handling.• Collaborated with vendors to innovate automated solids dewatering and fluid containment solutions.

• Provided daily leadership and engineering guidance to the operation of aerobic and anaerobic bioreactors, and off sites tankage. • Sustained biological viability during refinery outage, an industry-recognized challenge for biological reactors.• Managed $1M portfolio of optimization projects to reduce environmental footprint in waterways. • Utilized hydraulic modeling software to troubleshoot recurring system shut-off in dissolved air flotation unit. Quantified the impact of scaling on pressure drop, recommended operation changes, and re-designed instrumentation to improve runtime. • Utilized SimSci PROII and XOM fluid modeling software to design solution for heavy hydrocarbon tank cleaning. • Collaborated with third party contractors to successfully procure and set-up equipment to safely treat pyrophoric and high H2S service.

• Innovated sales strategy by running energy efficiency improvement projects, developing total cost of ownership models to drive change, and offering practical solutions to suffering points that caused recurring downtime.• Partnered with EVCO Plastics and Focus on Energy in energy efficiency test and designation of first energy efficient lubricant to offer Wisconsin Focus on Energy incentives.• Collaborated with industry experts and 5 branded distributorships to enhance productivity and profitability for industrial and off-highway commercial vehicle companies in southern Wisconsin.• Supported maintenance management in development of lubrication preventative maintenance programs, including implementing labeling best practices, equipment health monitoring, and personnel training in English and Spanish.• Improved reliability and provided solutions for plastic and metals manufacturing, power generation, food processing, chemical, oil & gas, mining, agriculture, and pulp & paper industries.

• Developed research-based strategy for modeling compositional variation of hydrocarbons in tight shale formations. • Applied fluid flow principles to internal reservoir hydraulics modeling software to define how to optimize margin with two proprietary assets of varying porosity and permeability characteristics.• Built training for roll-out of capital project management system and championed transition of department to sharepoint.
