Job description
Join a team recognized for leadership, innovation and diversity
The Chief Process Advisor will advise with regards to the
detailed checkout, precommissioning activities, heater and reactor circuit
dryout, catalyst and/or adsorbent loading, startup, initial operation and
testing of the unit, as well as providing instruction and direction to the
operating staff. The UOP Chief Advisor
will have the overall on site responsibility for ensuring that UOP's commissioning,
startup, and initial operations services are fully executed.
Before the completion of construction, the Chief Process
Advisor will compare and evaluate the specifications of the supplied equipment
with those specified in the UOP Schedule A Package, Piping and Instrumentation
Diagrams, and various UOP Standard Specifications and Drawings. This detailed examination procedure will
enable the Chief Process Advisor to identify, evaluate and provide advice to avoid
problems that could interfere with a smooth startup and successful performance
of the Process Unit.
As the checkout is being completed, the UOP Chief Process
Advisor will provide direction for the development and implementation of a
precommissioning program. Activities
carried out during this phase of the startup will include hydrostatic testing,
water flushing, leak testing, pump and compressor run in, refractory dryout,
high temperature field tests, inspection, catalyst loading, and instrument loop
checking.
After completion of the precommissioning phase, the UOP
Chief Process Advisor will review and evaluate the startup schedule and offer
advice on possible improvements. The
Chief Process Advisor will provide operating instructions to Operations and
Engineering staffs to ensure that they have knowledge of the UOP procedures for
startup, normal operations, and shutdown, and that they understand UOP's
recommended procedures for handling emergency situations in a safe and
efficient manner.
The Chief Process Advisor will advise the customer's
engineers and operators to achieve a smooth and beneficial startup. The Chief Process Advisor's experience on
similar units will help to avoid pitfalls during the startup. The Chief Process Advisor will issue daily
instructions to shift-working Process Advisors, in concert with the customer's
operations management team. UOP's prime
objective is a smooth continuous startup, beginning with introduction of feed
and concluding with on-specification products.
Once initial startup has occurred, the UOP Chief Process
Advisor will advise on the daily operation of the unit and recommend
adjustments to optimize unit performance. The Chief Process Advisor will establish process guidelines to line out
and prepare the unit for a successful performance test. The performance test
will verify the unit's ability to achieve the yields represented by UOP during
the design phase and will serve as a benchmark against which future process
unit performance can be compared.
A detailed study of the unit may also be conducted during
this period. The study may include calculations of product yields and catalyst
activity/selectivity. The unit can be evaluated from both a process and
hydraulic viewpoint, thus establishing a base condition that would be useful in
troubleshooting and planning future expansions.
