Chemical Engineer (Refining)

RESPONSIBILITIES

Process/Technical Service: Most likely you will be working on a variety of projects in the Technical Services department that put your classroom experience as a Chemical engineer into practice. The experience will provide you with a better understanding of the refining environment and technical aspects of the refinery. Past projects/duties have included the following: perform process engineering calculations concerning the various process units in the refinery; perform heat exchanger studies to determine heat transfer coefficients; complete projects to provide recommendations for improvements to refinery process and equipment.

Environmental: In this job, you will be applying the engineering principles and calculations learned in school to various environmental projects. This job will give you exposure to the majority of process units in the refinery because you will be working on environmental projects that involve the compliance of the entire refinery. In addition, you will get a broad knowledge of the various environmental laws that are applicable to refineries and what it takes to maintain compliance with those laws. Past projects/duties have included the following: perform process calculations for the Risk Management Plan, which includes taking surveys of refinery process units; work on various process engineering projects within a Wastewater Treatment Plant; participate in inspections and/or testing that are conducted by federal, state or local officials.

Products Control / Economics: In this job, you will use the knowledge gained in your Chemical Engineering classes and apply them to 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.

Past projects/duties have included the following: Analyze refinery process flow data and compare to recommended optimum levels, which helps 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 summarize process data in a more convenient manner.
