• Evaluated stresses and structural responses of various piping systems following ASME codes and standards using a computer software CAESAR II.• Performed hydraulic analysis on Propane/Pentane deluge tank piping system and upgraded firewater systems utilizing computer software Pipe-Flo. • Evaluated the pump nozzle loadings due to the piping system under the limitations and guidelines specified on API 610, designed necessary hangers/supports to reduce the nozzle loadings within API/Manufacturer's allowable values.• Performed WRC-107 analysis on the pressure vessels to check the stresses caused by the external loads at the junction of an attachment and a shell/head. Performed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on the same using NozzlePRO.• Rerated pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and storage tanks to a higher internal pressure or temperature, as per ASME section VIII - Division 1.• Designed a new nozzle on an existing storage tank as per API 650 and API 653• Calculated the reinforcement requirements on the branch connection as per ASME B31.3• Evaluated the piping loads on the nozzles of a centrifugal compressor under the limitations and guidelines of API 617, designed necessary hangers/supports to meet the code allowable nozzle loads requirements.• Rated an atmospheric tower for external pressure as per ASME Section VIII - Division 1.• Performed stress analysis on a flare piping system. Examined the system for several conditions including steady state and transients during relief events. Provided recommendation based on the results of stress analysis.• Designed an expansion loop on a piping system (including in a flare line) to incorporate thermal flexibility.• Performed MAWP calculations on old pressure vessels without U-1 or ASME code stamp.• Designed Manway of several pressure vessels and storage tanks.• Performed FFS assessment (Part 5, Level 1 and 2) as per API 579.
