• Instrument and Electrical Engineer for LPC Project
• Led continuous improvements of the overall LPC process control scheme.
• Led a task team to resolve the chlorination of pentane in the LPC reactor. Re- Programmed the moisture analyzer, and the axial compressor vibration monitor
• Calculated Calibration ranges for: - Oxygen Analyzers - Densitometers - Refractometers - Water Analyzers - Near Infrared analyzer (NIR) LPC Impact: Started LPC process on time without any injuries. This was made possible because the Instruments and equipment were function-checked two weeks ahead of schedule. The Instrumentation in this project performed remarkably well enough, made quality DCB and Kept DuPont's neoprene customers intact. Innovation: Demonstrated capability of innovative, novel solutions to problems. The LPC process air Compressor was not designed according to DuPont specification by the vendor (Air Tech). In-order to avoid start-up delay, and the cost of sending the compressor off site for re- Designing, revised the compressor control logic, in addition, developed a simpler Less complicated method for calibrating the compressor unloader to match its logic Control functions.

Reviewed design drawings, specifications and customer requirements for newly engineered components and processes.Designed and implemented electrical equipment, facilities and systems for commercial and domestic purposes.
