**Engineering Challenge:**During emergency depressuring, rapid gas expansion generates intense Joule-Thomson cooling that can drop wall temperatures below the Minimum Design Metal Temperature (MDMT), risking low-temperature brittle fracture. Simultaneously, uncoordinated blowdown across multiple fire zones risks exceeding the flare header backpressure limits, compromising conventional and balanced-bellows PSVs. The mandate was to size restrictive blowdown orifices to achieve 50% design pressure within 15 minutes per API 521 while staggering zone depressuring to prevent flare header choking and flare tip Mach number exceedance.

The engineering mandate was to minimize regenerator reboiler thermal duty to 3,500 kW while maintaining rich solvent loading within the corrosion safety envelope (≤ 0.45 mol CO₂/mol amine), avoiding thermal/oxidative degradation of the MDEA/piperazine solvent blend, and satisfying transmission pipeline delivery constraints and Wobbe index limits under fluctuating wellhead pressures.

**Engineering Challenge:**The existing direct contact cooling column utilized conventional random packing that generated excessive hydraulic pressure drop and liquid maldistribution under peak summer ambient temperatures, creating an upstream compressor suction bottleneck. The technical challenge was to proactively revamp the column internals to achieve superior pressure drop reduction and expand throughput capacity without expensive vessel shell modifications. By rigorously modeling and benchmarking high-performance structured and modern random packings—specifically Koch-Glitsch FLEXIPAC® HC® 2Y metal, Sulzer MellapakPlus™ 252.Y metal, and Sulzer NeXRing™ 2 metal—I successfully engineered a retrofit solution that delivered an 85% ΔP reduction, maximized flooding margins, and increased gas throughput potential while preserving the required thermal approach.

**Engineering Challenge:**Serving as process engineer on the PMC team required critically auditing the EPC engineering contractor's calculation books, simulation assumptions, and equipment specifications across an undulating gathering network. The challenge was to independently verify whether the contractor's steady-state sizing adequately accounted for hydrodynamic and terrain-induced slugging at turndown rates, cold restart risks within the hydrate formation zone, and severe liquid surges during pigging operations. Through rigorous technical audit of separator sizing calculations (API 12J / GPSA) and steady-state hydraulic modeling in PIPESIM with topside slug catcher surge verification in HYSYS Dynamics, I identified key discrepancies in contractor liquid retention assumptions and inhibitor injection rates, issuing formal Technical Queries (TQs) to safeguard downstream processing facilities.

**Engineering Challenge:**Achieving deep decarbonization (> 95% total CO₂ capture) in Steam Methane Reforming without imposing prohibitive energy penalties or levelized cost escalation. The technical challenge required optimizing the reformer reaction equilibrium and steam-to-carbon ratio (S/C: 2.5–3.0) to prevent catalyst coking, while maximizing waste heat recovery across syngas effluent and flue gas convection coils to supply the thermal regeneration duty of the amine-based CO₂ capture unit. By integrating Aspen HYSYS flowsheet simulation with capital and operational cost models in Microsoft Excel, I evaluated the trade-offs between SMR + CCS heat integration and renewable-powered alkaline electrolysis under real-world industrial utility and economic constraints.

Simultaneously, uncoordinated blowdown across multiple fire zones risks exceeding the flare header backpressure limits, compromising conventional and balanced-bellows PSVs. The mandate was to size restrictive blowdown orifices to achieve 50% design pressure within 15 minutes per API 521 while staggering zone depressuring to prevent flare header choking and flare tip Mach number exceedance.\n\nStandards:\n\n- API 521 (Pressure-relieving and Depressuring Systems)\n- API 520 Part I & II\n- GPSA Engineering Data Book Sec 5\n\nStack:\n\n- Aspen HYSYS Dynamics\n- Aspen HYSYS Steady-State\n- Aspen Flare System Analyzer (FLARENET)\n- Aspen Simulation Workbook (ASW)\n- Microsoft Excel\n\nGas Treating & ThermodynamicsOMV\n\nJun 2025 – Jul 2025•STUDY #02\n\n### Nawara CPF Brownfield Amine Sweetening Tie-In & AGRU Solvent Optimization\n\nOn the Amine Sweetening Tie-In project at the brownfield Nawara CPF (internal asset operations), executed core process simulation and optimization for an Acid Gas Removal Unit (AGRU) treating sour natural gas from 3 new production wells.

The technical challenge was to proactively revamp the column internals to achieve superior pressure drop reduction and expand throughput capacity without expensive vessel shell modifications. By rigorously modeling and benchmarking high-performance structured and modern random packings—specifically Koch-Glitsch FLEXIPAC® HC® 2Y metal, Sulzer MellapakPlus™ 252.Y metal, and Sulzer NeXRing™ 2 metal—I successfully engineered a retrofit solution that delivered an 85% ΔP reduction, maximized flooding margins, and increased gas throughput potential while preserving the required thermal approach.\n\nStandards:\n\n- Cooling Technology Institute (CTI) Standards\n- TEMA Standards\n- Air Liquide Safety Protocols\n\nStack:\n\n- Sulzer Sulcol\n- Koch-Glitsch KG-Tower\n- Aspen Plus\n- Aspen EDR\n- FLEXIPAC® HC 2Y\n- MellapakPlus™ 252.Y\n- NeXRing™ 2\n\nFlow Assurance & PMC AuditingEPPMPMC Project · Naft Khana Oilfield Rehabilitation\n\nJan 2026 – Aug 2026•STUDY #04\n\n### Multiphase Flowline Hydraulics, Slugging & Hydrate Transient Study\n\nServed as process engineer on the Project Management Consultant (PMC) team for the Naft Khana Oilfield Rehabilitation project, executing rigorous technical review and auditing of the EPC engineering firm's design calculations, equipment sizing books, and flow assurance models.

The challenge was to independently verify whether the contractor's steady-state sizing adequately accounted for hydrodynamic and terrain-induced slugging at turndown rates, cold restart risks within the hydrate formation zone, and severe liquid surges during pigging operations. Through rigorous technical audit of separator sizing calculations (API 12J / GPSA) and steady-state hydraulic modeling in PIPESIM with topside slug catcher surge verification in HYSYS Dynamics, I identified key discrepancies in contractor liquid retention assumptions and inhibitor injection rates, issuing formal Technical Queries (TQs) to safeguard downstream processing facilities.\n\nStandards:\n\n- API 14E (Design of Piping Systems)\n- API 12J (Separators)\n- ISO 13703\n- GPSA Sec 7\n\nStack:\n\n- SLB PIPESIM\n- Aspen HYSYS Upstream\n- HYSYS Dynamics\n- Bluebeam Revu\n\nEnergy Transition & DecarbonizationINSAT Research Initiative\n\nJan 2025 – May 2025•STUDY #05\n\n### Techno-Economic Assessment: SMR with Carbon Capture vs. Alkaline Water Electrolysis\n\nConducted a comparative techno-economic assessment (TEA) of industrial hydrogen production via Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) integrated with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) vs. Alkaline Water Electrolysis (AWE).

Want a second opinion?
Cloudflare runs a free scanner too, and it asks a different question. It scores what your site publishes for agents to call — MCP server cards, Agent Skills, API catalogs, DNS records. We score whether an agent can reach, read and understand your content. A site can do well on one and poorly on the other, so expect two different numbers: they are answers to two different questions, and both are worth knowing.
