Professional Experience

Professional Career Summary

• Performed piping stress analysis for Air Separation Plant systems using CAESAR II,
  ensuring compliance with ASME B31.3 and relevant pressure-temperature ratings.

• Analyzed critical lines for thermal expansion, sustained, and occasional loads;
  evaluated flange leakage risks using P-Equ and NC method, spring hanger calculation
  and recommended corrective actions where required.

• Created detailed CAESAR II models of complete piping systems, associated
  equipment (vessels, tanks, exchangers), and performed pump qualification as per API
  610 allowable nozzle load criteria to ensure vendor compliance and safe operation.
  • Recommended and implemented piping flexibility solutions, including:
  • Addition of expansion loops
  • Placement of restraints and guides
  • Adjustment of routing to control displacement and loads.

• Collaborated with the team to incorporate stress findings into 3D piping layouts; also
  generated stress isometrics from CAESAR II using ISOGEN for documentation and
  fabrication purposes.

• Conducted nozzle load evaluations using vendor allowable and API/ASME criteria;
  verified nozzle loads with NozzlePRO and ensured compliance for rotating and static
  equipment.

• Performed stress analysis of vacuum jacketed (cryogenic) lines considering
  temperature gradients, contraction effects, and support optimization for thermal
  movement.

• Performed dynamic/modal analysis in CAESAR II to determine natural frequencies of
  critical lines and ensure resonance avoidance near pump/compressor excitation
  ranges.

• Prepared and submitted complete stress analysis reports, including stress summary,
  restraint load report, displacement report, and flange leakage (NC method) report,
  ensuring alignment with company ISO documentation standards.

• Designed and modeled skid-based piping systems using Autodesk Inventor, ensuring
  manufacturability, maintainability, and space optimization.

• Created detailed fabrication and assembly drawings for piping and structural skids as
  per project requirements.

• Interpreted P&ID drawings to extract pipe specifications, valve types, line classes, and
  instrument connections for accurate 3D modeling and analysis.
