ASIAPOWER OFFICE TIMING: 10.00 AM TO 6.30 PM (MONDAY TO SATURDAY)
Job Purpose
-Provide technology support to SABIC’s world-scale Olefins plants with focus on identifying and implementing technology improvement projects for overall process optimization. Analyze key process trends using statistical tools, and translate findings into actionable recommendations to enhance plant safety, improve performance, reduce operating expenditure and increase process reliability.
-Troubleshooting chronic plant issues, identifying benchmarking performance gaps, developing technical solutions, and preparing technical reports to close gaps based on in-depth analysis of plant data is an integral part of the role.
-To work in a multidisciplinary setting within the T&I organization where you will collaborate with different disciplines in the business and manufacturing environment where project approval, execution and implementation need to be secured.
Core Responsibilities
-Identifying, developing and implementing short-, mid- and long-term technology projects in Ethylene Steam-Crackers (Liquid/Gas/Mixed) for overall process optimization.
-Lead Olefins plant troubleshooting efforts to ensure accurate and effective technology solution is provided in a timely manner to address chronic plant issues.
-Apply robust scientific methodologies and utilize statistical tools to analyze and interpret complex plant data, and develop simulation, predictive modeling, and analysis tools for resolving technical issues in plants.
-Lead and assist in identifying, assessing and developing key carbon neutral or decarbonization technologies for Olefins plants
-Conduct due diligence and feasibility studies on emerging technologies and advancements in Olefins. Prepare technology white paper to translate technical knowledge into relevant recommendations and guidance for senior management.
-Support the Olefins Business Unit in evaluation of large grassroots petrochemical complexes studies, capacity expansions & asset improvements assessment, and other strategic business initiatives such as refinery integration with steam cracker
Develop novel patentable concepts, leading to the development of intellectual property
