Job Description
The Process Engineer will be responsible for designing optimizing and troubleshooting process systems in an onshore gas compression plant. The role involves developing process simulations equipment sizing and ensuring compliance with industry standards to enhance efficiency reliability and safety in gas compression and transmission.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Develop process flow diagrams (PFDs) piping & instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) and heat & material balances for gas compression and processing facilities.
- Perform mass & energy balance calculations for natural gas compression dehydration and associated processing units.
- Design and optimize compressor stations dehydration units gas metering systems and fuel gas treatment.
- Conduct process simulations using Aspen HYSYS UniSim or ProMax to optimize compression operations.
- Size and specify gas compressors (reciprocating centrifugal screw) coolers separators heat exchangers and pressure vessels.
- Develop compressor performance curves surge analysis and thermodynamic efficiency assessments.
- Assist in the selection of gas treatment technologies including dehydration (TEG/MDEA) slug catchers and filter separators.
- Ensure designs comply with industry codes and standards such as API 618 API 619 ASME B31.3 API 521 and NFPA 86.
- Participate in HAZOP HAZID SIL LOPA and risk assessments for gas compression facilities.
- Develop flare & relief system designs including PSV sizing and depressurization studies.
- Support plant startup commissioning and performance testing for gas compression units.
- Identify and resolve operational bottlenecks compressor surge issues and hydrate formation risks.
- Implement flow assurance strategies to prevent liquid carryover slugging and hydrate blockages in pipelines.
- Prepare process datasheets cause & effect diagrams operating philosophies and control narratives.
- Collaborate with mechanical piping electrical instrumentation and control system engineers for integrated plant designs.
- Liaise with vendors EPC contractors and regulatory authorities for process approvals and equipment selection.
KEY QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelors or Masters degree in Chemical Engineering or related field.
- Minimum 510 years in process engineering for onshore gas processing and compression projects.
- Aspen HYSYS UniSim Pipesim FlareNet OLGA and process modeling tools.
- Regulatory Knowledge: Strong understanding of API ASME ISO NFPA and local environmental regulations.
- Chartered Engineer (CEng) Professional Engineer (PE) or relevant industry certifications.
- Strong analytical problemsolving and communication skills for crossdiscipline coordination.
