Produce process models of plants and subsystems using excel, process simulation software (with Aspen being the current preferred process simulation software) and other specialist packages
Improve existing process models, including the assimilation of plant operating/performance test data.
Produce the tools needed by the Production Planning department to estimate utility usage and feedstock requirements for a given product slate.
Analyse plant data to identify optimized operating regimes and strategies to meet the commercial objectives, and evaluate the performance of implemented projects.
Work closely with Operations team, taking feedback, monitoring actual vs advised operating configuration and parameters and providing training.
Identify the root cause of performance/operability problems in commissioning and early operations through analysis of operating data and recommend appropriate solutions.
Undertake modelling of both continuous and batch processing units.
Ability to interpret design documents such as PFD, P&ID, control narratives and operating instructions
Produce KPI reporting structures for the operations management and planning teams and written reports and presentations of investigations undertaken.
Work with the Advanced Process Control Team, to identify optimization methods and parameters for controlling to, and to evaluate performance of advanced control routines.
