Experience

1. Project Manager

   Ugs - Unconventional Gas Solutions

   Aug 2022 — Present · Houston, TX, US

   Engineered, constructed and successfully commissioned two bio-gas upgrading facilities in a record 52 weeks time. Achieved plant availability and run time more than 99%.I do designing and developing gas upgrading plants across diverse sectors, including Dairy, Poultry, Wastewater treatment (WWTP), and Landfill gas (LFG). Our systems handle capacities from 200 to 7,500 scfm. Our approach focuses on standardized plant designs to efficiently transform raw LFG into pipeline-quality renewable natural gas (RNG). LFG upgrading solutions include:Blower packages for initial gas handling.H2S removal systems to eliminate corrosive sulfur compounds.Feed compression to prepare gas for purification.Pretreatment using PTSA (Pressure Swing Thermal Adsorption) systems for contaminant removal.CO2 removal using advanced membrane technology to enhance methane purity.Nitrogen rejection using VPSA (Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption) for final product specification.De-oxygenation using catalytic processes to remove residual oxygen.Product compressors capable of reaching pressures up to psig for pipeline injection or storageI do revamping and debottlenecking of underperforming RNG assets like NRUs and De-Oxo Systems.Leveraging our expertise, we develop and deliver customized Helium recovery systems for conventional oil & gas wells, ensuring Helium purity levels up to upstream oil & gas gathering stations, high-pressure (60•••00 psig) membrane solutions efficiently lower Nitrogen levels, ensuring that the gas meets stringent pipeline specifications.I design and implement highly engineered gas treatment solutions for a range of applications, including Coal Seam Gas, Syngas, and various refinery gas streams. Our specialized processes focus on effective acid gas and nitrogen removal to meet specific purity requirements.
