The Process Engineer III is responsible for executing and supporting the design and development of process systems for power generation projects involving simple cycle gas turbine installations, combined cycle gas turbine power plants, and reciprocating engine power plants.

Project Execution

• Lead or support the process engineering scope through project phases from conceptual/feasibility studies through detailed design, procurement support, and commissioning.
• Develop and maintain process design basis documents, equipment lists, line lists, and tie-in schedules.
• Prepare and review equipment datasheets and specifications for procurement packages including pumps, vessels, tanks, heat exchangers, blowers, and packaged systems (water treatment, chemical feed, instrument air).
• Track engineering deliverables, manage scope changes within the process discipline, and coordinate interfaces with other disciplines and with vendors/OEMs.

System Design

• Design balance of plant systems including demineralized water treatment (RO, CEDI, mixed bed), closed cooling water, service water, instrument and plant air, chemical dosing, and wastewater handling.
• Specify tank sizing (atmospheric per API 650, pressure vessels per ASME BPCV Sec VIII) and evaluate material selection for service conditions including aqueous ammonia, sulfuric acid, sodium hypochlorite, and other plant chemicals.
• Specify fluid turbomachinery such as centrifugal pumps and natural gas compressors for meeting plant demand.
• Support air permitting efforts by developing emissions estimates for gas turbines, duct burners, auxiliary boilers, and emergency engines.
• Interface with environmental consultants on SCR/CO catalyst performance guarantees, ammonia slip limits, and continuous emissions monitoring requirements.
• Provide process data inputs for noise studies, wastewater discharge permits, and chemical storage secondary containment design.

Drawings

• Create and maintain Process Flow Diagrams showing major equipment, flow paths, design heat and mass balance conditions, and key operating parameters.
• Develop Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams from studies through detailed design, incorporating control schemes, isolation philosophy, relief device locations, utility connections, and tagging per company standards.
• Conduct P&ID reviews (HAZOP participation, constructability, operability) and manage redlines through successive revisions.
• Coordinate P&ID content with instrumentation, piping, electrical, and structural disciplines to ensure consistency across deliverables.
