SKILLS
ABOUT SHIYANTHAN BALACHANDRAN
With over 8 years of experience in chemical and process engineering, I am a resourceful and top-performing professional who can manage complex and high-profile projects in the oil and gas industry. I hold a Master\'s degree in Chemical Engineering and a Diploma in IT, which enable me to apply both technical and analytical skills to solve problems and deliver solutions.Currently, I work as a Process Engineer at Wood, where I am responsible for evaluating and integrating the utility requirements for the PREEM HVO FEED project, one of the largest renewable diesel production projects in Europe. I produce high-quality deliverables such as BFD, PFD, P & IDs, DPTD, MSD, and equipment sizing, while working with clients and participating in HAZID and HAZOP sessions. I also have extensive experience in process and safety design, sizing calculations, and process simulation using Aspen Plus and Aspen HYSYS, which I gained from my previous roles at Recycling Technologies Ltd and Nithya Paper & Boards Lanka (PVT) Ltd. I have successfully modeled fluidized bed reactors, performed styrene runaway evaluation, executed HAZOP and LOPA close-out calculations, and led the evaluation and sizing of pressure safety valves. I am passionate about improving the efficiency and quality of production processes while ensuring safety and environmental compliance. I have demonstrated my ability to introduce new and more efficient production techniques, optimize resource consumption, and reduce operational failures. I am looking for new challenges and opportunities to apply my expertise and contribute to the success of innovative and sustainable engineering projects.
