Work History

Assistant Manager - Electrical & Instrumentation

Gatron Industries Limited
07.2023 - Current

Poly Condensation Unit Development (N14-B: 350 TPD, $10M):

  • Played an instrumental role in the development and implementation of control logic and graphics for a poly condensation unit on Emerson DeltaV v14.3.
  • 590 I/Os, 20 graphic pages, 413 control modules.
  • Implemented control strategies including 2-step motor control, PID, cascaded PID, feed ratio controls, and totalizers.
  • Development of all graphics.
  • Configured trends, alarms, and interlocks for optimized process monitoring and safety.
  • Performed all loop testing, and instrument calibration (including 17 level transmitters, and 16 flow meters).

Cost Savings Initiatives:

  • Saved $70,000 by implementing PROFINET communication between Siemens S7-1200 and DeltaV via Vim2, eliminating the need for 63 DeltaV DSTs and associated cabling.
  • Achieved $10,000 savings by developing a DeltaV OPC server for SAP MII data transmission, eliminating the need for external vendor support.

Energy Optimization Projects:

  • Enhanced process column temperature stability by implementing Fuzzy Logic Controls on the reflux loop, reducing temperature deviation (DeltaT) from ±20°C to ±3°C. This stabilization minimized EG evaporation, resulting in a combined annual cost savings of PKR 35M.
  • Currently optimizing chips conveying system timings, projecting annual energy savings of 1,100,000 units by establishing PROFINET communication between Siemens S7-1500 I-Device and DeltaV Vim2.

Technical Training & Support:

  • Provided training to technicians on instrument calibration, HART communication, motor control cabinets, and DCS loop testing.
  • Conducted Permit to Work training.

Daily Activities:

  • Carry out preventive and corrective maintenance for Poly1, Poly2, and SSP plants.
  • Ensured all maintenance activities were logged and managed through SAP.
  • Conduct daily analysis of critical motor parameters via trend analysis on the Emerson DeltaV DCS, providing timely anomaly reports to top management.
