Professional Experience: 20 years of Petroleum Refinery Experience

Level of Specialty: Six (6) years of experience with Shell Refinery, Australia in the area of multivariable control design and implementations. Using DCS as a platform (Centum-CS/XL and TDC-3000), implemented multivariable control on Crude Unit, FCC and light end columns.

Six (6) years of experience as a process engineer in process design steady state and dynamic simulation of refinery processes.

Eight (8) years with Saudi Aramco in the field of advanced control and DCS. Implemented advanced control project on crude distillation unit and wrote FSD's and technical reports on advanced control and optimization for all the refinery processes.   

PUBLICATIONS

Published over 25 papers in international journals and refereed conference proceedings in Chemical Engineering and Multivariable Control. A book is published on the applications of nonlinear model-based multivariable control in petroleum refining. Many technical reports and design projects were written on various subjects in Chemical Engineering and Advanced Process Control.
