Role Purpose

Provides technical leadership for syngas conditioning section during Pre-FEED, BDEP, and FEED phases of the Syngas-to-SNG project.

Leads technology selection, TBE, and licensor evaluation, across CO shift, AGR, and cryogenic CH₄ recovery units; ensures technical integrity of process deliverables. Manages and coordinates with the technologists.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead technology selection and evaluation for syngas conditioning — sour/sweet CO shift, AGR (Rectisol, Selexol, or MDEAbased processes), and Cryogenic CH₄ recovery; define technology selection criteria covering H₂S/CO₂ selectivity, catalyst activity, and solvent performance; establish evaluation framework.
• Evaluate CO₂ capture efficiency and H₂S/CO₂ selectivity requirements for the AGR unit; ensure alignment with SNG product specification and environmental compliance requirements.
• Coordinate and manage discipline Technologists; assign work, review outputs, and ensure technical consistency across disciplines.
• Review licensor technology proposals, process descriptions, and datasheets; challenge technical claims and assess performance guarantees.
• Lead preparation of Technical Bid Evaluations (TBE) for technology packages; drive licensor selection recommendations.
• Review Pre-FEED deliverables (process basis, heat & mass balances, technology selection reports).
• Lead PFD and P&ID review; ensure completeness, technical accuracy, and operability.
• Lead and coordinate HAZID and HAZOP; ensure all actions are documented and closed.
• Review and approve BDEP and FEED deliverables across the syngas conditioning units.
• Review and approve equipment specifications, process design basis, and vendor data.
• Identify long lead equipment; provide technical inputs for equipment specifications and procurement strategy
• Assess impact of UCG syngas composition variability on conditioning unit performance; define feed envelope and develop bracketing design cases for varying UCG gas quality.
• Interface with Configuration Optimization team to ensure alignment of technology inputs with overall project configuration.
• Maintain awareness of CO shift catalyst developments, AGR solvent advances, and cryogenic process improvements; contribute technology benchmarking insights.

Key Skills & Competencies

• Deep technical knowledge of syngas conditioning technologies — sour/sweet CO shift, acid gas removal (Rectisol, Selexol, MDEA-based), and cryogenic CH₄ recovery; understanding of H₂S/CO₂ selectivity, sulfur recovery options, and SNG product quality requirements.
• Understanding of UCG syngas composition variability and its impact on conditioning unit design, catalyst selection, and solvent loading.
• Proven experience in technology evaluation, TBE preparation, and licensor/vendor selection for process technology packages.
• Process design review expertise — PFDs, P&IDs, heat & mass balances, and equipment datasheets.
• Strong technical leadership and team management; experience coordinating multi-discipline technical teams.
• Experience in HAZID/HAZOP facilitation.
• Proficiency in process simulation tools (Aspen HYSYS, Pro/II, or equivalent).
• Knowledge of BDEP and FEED deliverable requirements; understanding of project lifecycle for major capital projects.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management; ability to present technical recommendations to senior management.
• Familiarity with applicable HSE standards, codes (ASME, API, IBR), and statutory compliance requirements.

Qualifications & Experience

• B.E./B.Tech in Chemical Engineering.
• 15–20 years (Grade F) / 10–15 years (Grade G) in gas processing or SNG technology, with minimum 5 years in a technical lead role.
• Experience in Pre-FEED, BDEP, and FEED phases for process plants; TBE and licensor selection experience required; exposure to CO shift, AGR, and cryogenic unit design preferred.
