Experience
BP Whiting Refinery – Whiting, IN March 2017 - Present
•NBIC PEI Inspector PEI-103-IS/RQ, API 510 #57144,API 570 #45221, API 577 #65688, RFI. IRATA LVL 1 # 1/101828
•Performing & maintaining compliance of boiler, pressure vessel & piping inspections for the 11 Pipe Still Crude Processing Unit.
•Performing in depth CUI inspection & analysis for CUI susceptible equipment throughout the unit.
•Developing inspection plans and execution of potentially near retirement piping &/or equipment by manipulating pcms to show all near retirement components & performing advanced NDE techniques to determine development of the assumed corrosion per pcms data & possible life expectancy in coordination with scheduled unit shutdowns.
•Coordinating with TAR groups to properly prepare for scheduled unit outages, including the required equipment in need of inspection during the outage, required cleaning plan for inspection & NDE & possible repairs to be prepared for due to previous equipment history or known issues found while in service via on line inspections.
•Working hand in hand with engineering to utilize proper inspection techniques & frequencies for piping & equipment with high internal corrosion potential.
•Reporting directly to the unit superintendent with advancements we've made since my arrival to become a more proactive inspection department & reporting lopc saves we have made as a direct result of the advancements we've made to be proactive & utilize more inspection tools the refinery has previously neglected to support in favor of less effect but less costly techniques.
