Process Design Modifications
Create and evaluate the best process design modification to overcome a specific client challenge. Document in a formal design proposal, implement, test, and commission.Control System Design Engineer
Conduct all phases from concept thru design and complete responsibilities with successful commissioning of the system.PROJECT: Simultaneous Restoration of Two Biomass Power Plants• Created and formally documented a proposed process and control logic upgrade for the boiler master, fuel flow, air flue, gas recirculation, and induced draft fan control logic. This new design included improved process monitoring and control philosophy.
PROJECT: Solar Turbine Refurbishment & Turb/HRSG Controls Upgrade Project• Completed a conversion of the Solar Turbine Centaur 40 hydraulic starter system to a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). Provided the electrical design sketches, supervised construction, determined and conducted VFD programming config's, & S/U.
Mechanical Engineer
Provide mechanical engineering services on client's processes and systems.PROJECT: Combined Cycle Power Plant Steam Drain System Improvement Project• Completed a computer modeled simulation of the steam drain multi-phase steam flow conditions. Used this computer model to determine the new design modifications to eliminate flow conditions above sonic velocities.
PROJECT: Gas Compressor Control Logic Upgrade Project• Applied Ariel's gas compressor software to model the client's system and operating conditions to determine necessity to relocate gas cooler and to determine combination of loader valves/operating pressure to trip based on rod loads.
PROJECT: Hydro Power Plant Refurbishment & Upgrade Project• Built a software model of the site water hydraulics to determine the flow characteristics of aux water supplies when a large (108" dia) bypass valve is placed in operation. This model justified the need to maintain backup pump capacity to the hatchery.
