Process Systems Engineering
Experienced Process Systems Engineer, an associate member of IChemE and a member of the Process Management and
Control Special Interest Group at IChemE. An associate member of the Chartered Institute for IT, a registered Chemical
Engineer by the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) and a professional member of IEEE with
memberships of Control System, Instrumentation and Measurement, Robotics and Automation Societies. I have a wide range
of experience and expertise in Advanced Process Control and Automation, Process Engineering Calculations and Design, Chemical
Process Dynamics and Control, Optimization, System Modelling and Simulation, Plant and Control System Design, Fault Detection
and Diagnosis, Instrumentation and Measurements, Management of Automation Project, Data Analytics/Science and Fault Tolerant
Control Systems.
I am an experienced University teacher in Chemical Engineering and Advanced Process Control with some years of experience
in the industry and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) with about a decade experience of teaching and researching
in higher education in the United Kingdom and Nigeria. I have good research background in Chemical Engineering, especially crude
oil refining processes with a PhD in Chemical Engineering on doctoral thesis entitled Fault Tolerant Control System Design for
Distillation Processes. I also have some years of managerial experience in the industry and hold an MBA from a UK University.
Some of my skills and competencies are:
- Good knowledge of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), GAMP, HAZOP, CHAZOP, COMAH, Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA), Safety
Integrity Level (SIL) and Layers of Protection Analysis (LOPA).
- Extensive hands-on experience working with PLC and SCADA – Siemens S7,
WinCC and Omron, and good understanding of DCS.
- Great skills in troubleshooting automation and control system issues; proficient in trend analysis, closed loop control,
PID tuning and control strategies design and implementation.
- Great awareness of the principles of measurement and principal design features and operations of instrumentation and
measurement devices – control valves, positioners, sensors, actuators and transducers.
- Knowledgeable about identification and measurement of cost and benefits of quality; project evaluation and selection;
cost and benefits analysis; and feasibility studies.
- Excellent grasp of principles underpinning chemical process dynamics and control, and fault tolerant control.
- Expertise in process control and control systems technology.
- Highly skilled in process engineering calculations and development of process flow diagram (PFD), piping and instrumentation
diagram (P&ID), material balance, and energy balance for chemical processes.
- Expertise in chemical processing plants and equipment design from conceptual to detailed design.
- Excellent application skills in Matlab, Simulink, Python, JavaScript, Orange, R, SQL and Aspen Hysys.
- Excellent skills in development, calibration and simulation of steady state and dynamic models using both Aspen Hysys and Matlab.
- Proficient in the applications of Spotfire, Tableau, MS Project, SPSS, MS Words, Excel and Power Point.
- Great computational, problem-solving, peoples’ management, administrative and time-management skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
