Core Activities
Design/evaluate plant modifications at the Daharki site using Exxon Design Practices ensuring modifications are HSE compliant through DuPont???s Process Hazard Analysis Techniques (including HAZOP studies).

Special Assignments
??? Process designing in the Environment
Improvement Project to cost-effectively reduce ammonia-laden water effluent.
??? Process designing in the Design and Feasibility Study??? for a proposed 850,000 tonne/year Ammonia-Urea Fertilizer Complex planned for Oman through relocation of a 1530 tonne/day Ammonia Plant. Responsible for complete ammonia plant simulation in PARRISH software, determination of the Heat/Material balance and utility requirements. Re-rated turbo-machinery, heat exchangers, etc using HYSYS and HTFS. Developed the process engineering section of the design basis memorandum for the entire project.
??? Process designing in the Improvement of the Combustion Efficiency of the Primary Reformer Furnace by converting it from an induced-draft to a balanced-draft furnace through the incorporation of a forced draft fan. Carried out detailed analysis for optimization of the fuel/process side of the furnace and its effect on the plant using HYSYS and WINHEAT software. Extensively employed PHA techniques using the DuPont method (HAZOP studies though What-if analysis) in multidisciplinary teams due to critical nature of the project. Developed P&IDs and process specifications for the modifications.
??? Involved in the Debottlenecking Study of the Daharki Ammonia plant to increase urea capacity by 100 kilotonnes/year. Carried out HYSYS simulations to model base case and several revamp cases. Carried out comparison of the various cases for economics and operability.
