LP Engineer ( Simulation )

Our Client operates in the Oil and Energy industry, with its headquarters rooted strongly in Saudi Arabia. It has its branches spread to more than 50 countries, providing employment to more than 68,500 people all over the world. They fall under the Fortune 500 Companies. They are one of the world’s largest oil producers. They are constantly growing by creating new technologies through its Research and Development efforts and branch into new business lines through Investments and Acquisitions.

Responsibilities:

• Run the rigorous simulation in order to identify deviation from simulation and actual condition.
• Run the wide refinery model after SROP optimization in order to identify operational opportunity in the refiner.
• Define data and work process required to maintain and update rigorous simulation.
• Develop Non-Linear equation to reflect operational variable into the PIMS AO model
• Keep the hybrid model for LP Engineer accurate.
• Work with process Engineer in order to guaranty accurate simulation output and debottleneck constrain to maximize refinery benefit.
• Perform “back-casting” and issue a monthly report on the Rigorous Simulation gap along with required mitigations.
• Support stakeholders in order to create new models to evaluated new project for Downstream business.
• Support ASSAY expert to calibrate the TBP and cut points in order to reflect the actual column efficiency.
• Publish articles in leading trade magazine and /or industry journals.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering related field, MBA or a relevant advanced degree is strongly preferred.
• Minimum of 9 years of professional experience in consulting and /or refinery industries, with an in-depth understanding of rigorous simulation for refinery processing units
• Expertise developing rigorous simulation to extract shift vector and process objective, with at least 7 years of experience in Aspen Technology’s HYSYS model or PETROSIM.
• Have developed rigorous simulation for hydrocracking, FCC, DHT, Catalytic and Coker reforming units, have built a rigorous simulation model of a complete refinery (Wide Refinery Model)
• A thorough knowledge of engineering practices, economic principles and calculation methods.
• Expert in international business and cross-cultural professional practices.
• Have developed integration between rigorous simulation models and ASPEN PIMS.
