Coordination and scheduling of a national project for re-branding of Texaco gas stations to Shell gas stations and upgrades of Shell gas stations.

Organized and presented Capital Project Budget justification based on $800,000 annual savings resulting in the Capital Projects Committee approval. Led and oversaw dual project teams in the grassroots development of mathematical models resulting in a newly commissioned advanced process controller generating $900,000/year in profits. Maintained, troubleshot, and resolved DMC controllers serving the CAT Feed Hydrotreater and the Catalytic Cracker to ensure zero downtime and optimal production. Performed routine/non-routine maintenance to the Sulfur Recovery, Alky Sulfur, and Hydrofluoric Acid units resulting in 100% compliance with EPA air quality emission guidelines.

Developed a series of EXCEL spreadsheets that displayed the vital economic statistics for the production unit resulting in the implementation and verification of process changes increasing prime production. Collaborated with AKZO Nobel additives group to optimize catalyst efficiency resulting in significant savings for the production unit. Detected oxygen (O2) leaks and repaired faulty components resulting in improved O2 utilization and pre-heater efficiency. Devised and implemented a heat exchanger fouling program to alert process operators of fouling so they could respond with corrective action resulting in increased prime production rate.
