Project Highlights

AMPOL FCCU

Involved extensively in steady state tuning of FCCU. Involved in developing OTS with which I have executed startup procedures with AMPOL. AMPOL gave a very positive feedback on the FCCU's reaction dynamics saying that it is almost as if they are operating an actual FCCU.


TPPI Platforming

Worked on emulating Triconex logic of CRCS. Able to execute startup according to procedures using OTS. Also, worked with Praveen from UOP to develop UOP Train the trainer module.


Pegaga Topside

As a commissioning engineer for the DCS system, involved extensively in achieving first gas of the field. Witnessed whole startup process and constantly working with CROs and instrument engineers to provide as much assistance as possible.
