Select an industry below to examine the specific operational bottlenecks I resolve and the engineering tools I apply.
Oil Refining & Petrochemicals
Crude Preheat Fouling Analysis, Distillation Columns & Energy Recovery
I assist refinery and petrochemical engineering teams in quantifying crude preheat train fouling penalties, optimizing atmospheric CDU towers, and designing heat integration networks that cut furnace fuel costs.
- •Severe preheat exchanger fouling forcing fired heaters to burn excess fuel
- •Fired heater bridge wall temperatures approaching metallurgical limits
- •Sub-optimal Pinch topology across atmospheric and vacuum distillation trains
- ✓Aspen HYSYS & Python automated fouling rate monitoring and cleaning triggers
- ✓Pinch Analysis heat exchanger network retrofits adding avoided fired duty
- ✓Aspen EDR shell-and-tube thermal-hydraulic rating and vibration mitigation
