Startup and mechanical commissioning for 2 GE Aeroderivative LM-2500's simple cycle and 2 GE LM-6000 simple cycle with sprint and water injection water systems. One air cooled and one water cooled air intake in Venezuela.

Made startup and rounds on 2- Westinghouse 501 dual fuel 50 MW simple cycle turbines, 1- 75 MW CT-3 simple cycle GE turbine, 2- dual fuel boilers with 2 hydrogen cooled 225 MW GE Generators and 1 Solar Trough power plant with Organic Rankin Cycle power turbine.

Start up, Commissioned, Operated and Decomissioned a Gas To Fuels Process demonstration project for Marathon Oil Company at Southwest Research Institute.

I filled in for two auxiliary operators for a simple cycle/combined cycle peaking plant. I was responsible for the water sample panel and treatment. I conducted rounds on all equipment and ensured everything was working properly. The plant used LM6000 PC GE GT with annular combustion and inlet cooling and heating and dual fuel capability.
