  Thermax Babcock & Wilcox Energy Solutions Private Limited

  Dec 2020 - now

  • Implemented streamlined processes and best practices for process engineering, resulting in increased efficiency, improved proposal quality, and enhanced team performance. • Reduced proposal development time from four weeks to one week by automating simulation runs for waste heat recovery boilers (WHRBs) and heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), implementing a multi-calculation simulation with a single boiler model for various operations and load cases.• Led a team driving proposals and contracts for performance improvement of waste heat recovery boilers and heat recovery steam generators. Co-ordinated with Sales and Marketing team for an order booking of 250+ Cr INR ($30M USD) delivering targeted solutions that surpassed customer expectations within allocated budgets and project timelines.• Mentored and guided team members, fostering their professional growth and enhancing their skills in proposal development, technical expertise, and cross functional collaboration.• Demonstrated leadership in end-to-end project execution, navigating from conceptualization to seamless implementation by tackling operational bottlenecks.• Led a project to de-bottleneck a Tail gas-fired boiler with an external combustor at a carbon black plant in Egypt. Proposed a solution to improve gas distribution across the screen superheater section and reduce the gas inlet temperature to the evaporator module. This eliminated the problem of evaporator coil failure (due to overheating) and enabled the boiler to operate reliably at its rated capacity. Show less • Anchored site visits, engaging with clients to understand their technical requirements. Played a pivotal role in driving successful plant improvement projects.• Demonstrated expertise in thermal and mechanical design, conducting performance checks, and evaluating the thermal performance of boilers.• Led a first of a kind proposal for a power plant revamp in a cement plant, involving the removal of a Tertiary air duct boiler and the modification of Air quench cooler boiler and Pre-heater boiler for the reliable operation of the plant.• Orchestrated the integration of a De-NOx system for a Tail gas-fired boiler in Thailand, reducing NOx emissions by 70% using aqueous ammonia and catalysts.• Formulated multiple proposals for the revamp of Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG), focusing on adding 100% MCR load in fresh air firing mode. Achieved this by modifying the duct burner system, transition duct, and adding FD fan. Show less • Developed strong client interaction skills, demonstrating an aptitude for identifying technical requirements and collaborating with cross-functional teams to develop innovative solutions for plant capacity improvement.• Resolved diverse customer challenges, including conceptualizing cost effective and reliable solutions for a glass furnace company's waste heat recovery implemented for chillers and optimizing backend recovery in Waste Heat Recovery boilers for low pressure steam savings and boiler efficiency improvements.• Leveraged gained insights from customer engagements to innovate and propose a viable techno commercial solution. Reduced thermal performance evaluation time for a boiler from 5 days to 2 days by integrating visual basics with simulation software in C.• Co-ordinated for a transformative power plant performance improvement project at a leading cement plant, achieving a remarkable 70% increase in steam capacity. Strategically upgraded existing boilers and integrated additional boilers, resulting in the generation of an additional 60 TPH of low pressure steam. Changed plant piping to power two turbines connected through a common header, generating 15MW and 16MW each. Show less
