A highly passionate and result oriented rotating equipment design engineer with 5+ years of insightful experience in centrifugal compressor design and operation. I also possess progressive proficiencies in compressor design optimization, preparation of offer for inquiries, design to cost, compressor rotor dynamic analysis, non-conformity resolution, and field issue resolution.
Lead Design Engineer
Baker Hughes a GE company
Since July 2013
- Demonstrated responsibility for technical, Cost and Schedule of Complete flange to flange Centrifugal Compressor from start of design till installation and commissioning at customer site.
- Single point of contact for centrifugal compressor design for other stake holders like Application engineer, Project management team, Sourcing and Manufacturing.
- Analyzed and gained expertise in design specifications of major customers including Saudi Aramco, PTT, ENI, Saipem, PDO, EIL etc.
- Successfully designed compressors aligned with customer specifications and compliant to API617, Shell DEP, ASME, NACE MR0175 etc. whenever required by project.
- Enhanced expertise in thermodynamic selection, material selection depending on gas composition- be it clean gas or highly corrosive (H2S, CO2, Chlorides and Mercury), performance calculations and performance curve creation.
- Developed new seal for balance drum which reduce leakage significantly with improve efficiency
- Pioneered in compressor rotor dynamic analysis with Matlab based tool, and suitably modifying rotor or other parameters to comply with API 617/customer requirements.
- In charge of centrifugal compressor impeller stage technology development and impeller static and dynamic analysis.
- Perform design reviews as per standard procedures and design templates.
- Purchase Dry gas seals (DGS) for compressors based on the project requirements: creating purchase specification, technical alignment and approving documents related to DGS.
- Collaborate with System, instrumentation and control engineers to successfully address challenges and explore cost cutting opportunities.
- Verify P& ID for lube oil, seal gas and anti-surge systems
- Executed all projects within the desired timeline by maintaining project productivity, on time delivery and execution quality.
- Guided and co-ordinated with engineers for projects involving multiple Compressor designs.
- Perform detailed analysis on non-conformities reported on impellers and Balance drums and accepted or rejected or proposed modification on impacted components.
- Witnessed High speed balancing and performance test at GE Florence test facility.
- Designed highly efficient compressors for application engineering team providing needed competitive edge over competitors’ bid.
- Played a key role in winning two critical fertilizer projects by optimizing compressor performance.
- Investigated RCA of dry gas seal system under sizing issue. Identified Root Causes, implemented corrective and containment action.
- Handled and resolved Field issues related to dry gas seals, thrust bearing overload and Compressor performance drop.
- Participated in various customer meetings and kick off meetings to discuss and resolve technical issues.
