  I spent several summers working as a first class carpenter for this civil contractor at the Chevron Pascagoula Refinery. I worked on several small capital projects during this time such as, the flare header project, oasis, and other recently completed ones.

  Several engineering design projects completed during this time. Project 1: consisted of creating an automated temperature control system for a heat exchanger bank. During this project, I provided an efficient control system scheme using minimum variable frequency drive requirements in order to save costs and MCC real estate. This design used the existing distributed control system currently in place at Chevron along with a PID algorithm, inputs from temperature instruments, pressure sensors, and emergency shutoff devices in order to control fan speeds both automatically or manually on a fin fan heat exchanger bank. Project 2: included modification of an offshore drill platform known as Horizons in order to tie-in other wells and increase the amount of barrels per day produced. During this project I worked with the team’s process engineers to understand their proposed equipment choices and their process flow calculations. Then I used that information to create reliability spreadsheets by calculating the percentage of production function, percent throughput, meantime before failure, etc., for each piece of equipment used in all three of our proposed designs. This allowed for the production efficiency and estimated outage hours for each option to be determined. I then provided my team with this information to further determine which of the three designs was the most ideal based on my calculated production efficiency and the direct proportionality between it and cost. Project 3: consisted of creating and designing a Vacuum Distillation Unit preheat system in order to limit the requirements needed to preheat crude during Crude II shutdowns. During this project, I was tasked with creating a condensate return system and to use my electrical engineering knowledge to determine the wire sizes we would need in our overall design. Show less
