Process Engineers

Description:

Process Engineers provide technical support for the plant operations. They will be assigned a specific unit or units within the Refinery with responsibilities of daily monitoring and troubleshooting of their areas, process optimization, design and development of capital projects as well as major modifications to existing units. Process Engineers will apply state-of-the-art technology with regard to process simulation and optimization. They will recommend programs and procedures to increase the economic efficiency of refining operations. Process Control Engineers provide technical support for the refinery's sophisticated Distributed Control System. They work in a team environment with line operators and engineers to maintain and troubleshoot control system problems as well as develop advanced control applications for the process units. Advanced control applications can range from product blending to dynamic matrix controls and rule-based systems. Process Control Engineers must also track emerging technology to help determine future control strategies and investments.

Operations Research Engineers may help develop planning, blending, scheduling, and process models for refinery engineers. The models are used to optimize crude oil purchasing, refinery production, blending and finished product scheduling, and optimization of refinery production.

Environmental Engineers work on projects that involve the compliance of the entire refinery, and you will be exposed to the majority of process units in the refinery. You will be applying the engineering principles and calculations to various environmental projects and will also give you a broad knowledge of the various environmental laws that are applicable to refineries and what it takes to maintain compliance with those laws. Duties may include the following: perform process calculations for the Risk Management Plan, including taking physical surveys of refinery process units; work on various process engineering projects within a Wastewater Treatment Plant; participate in inspections and/or testing that is conducted by federal, state, or local officials.

Products Control / Economics Engineers may work on a wide array of projects including operations, blending, and refinery economics. You will gain an understanding of how a tank farm is operated and how gasoline and other products are prepared and shipped to customers. In addition, you will gain some exposure to the overall economics of the refinery and how operating decisions are made based upon these economics. Duties may include the following: analyze refinery process flow data and compare to recommended optimum levels, this will help in identifying equipment failures which cause variances in capacity from the optimum levels; update information on gasoline blends and tank samples in preparation for an annual blender waiver audit; develop applications to better present process data for refinery operating decisions.
