Senior Process Control and Reliability Engineer with Phenomenal experience in fixing broken process control systems in Chemical, Refinery, and Oil\/Gas Operations. <\/strong>To say that this ChemE is a “Game Changer” would be an understatement of his abilities! He summarizes his experience as a passion to make things better than they were yesterday, I identify the problems no one else sees or is willing to admit to and willingly \u201cI get his hands dirty\u201d to solve the problems no one else can.<\/strong> His
process design experience includes P&ID development, heat, material & pressure balances, hydraulics, steady state & dynamic process modeling, and equipment evaluation and troubleshooting. He possesses advanced expertise in advanced regulatory controls, including sequence\/batch and model-predictive control (APC\/MPC). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He brings a HUGE TOOL BOX of FIX IT, versatile technical skills, and equipment experience to the table. His client base is a Who’s Who of the Chemical and Oil\/Gas World!<\/strong> And his accomplishments in the field are in a word, IMPRESSIVE! This means BIG DOLLAR Savings for his employers.<\/strong> He collaborates and co-authors papers with Operational Excellence & Safety Culture Experts to promote a real and lasting cultural shift in the Process Industries to help make ZERO Incidents a reality. He is “Gun for Hire” and is looking for new contract opportunities in the US or International Markets. Single, renting and ready to go where needed! Put an end to your process problems\/challenges now and save TONS of MONEY in the process! Call us now for an introduction before he is booked up! His experience includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
