Senior Ammonia Process Consultant - Part Time As Needed

Overview

Senior consultant advising on ammonia process design and safety for clean fuel projects.

Key Responsibilities

• solution development
• design support
• technology assessment
• process safety
• hazop studies
• ammonia design

Tasks

-Solution Development: Define and deliver services that meet customer needs by selecting the best possible approaches available within established systems. -Project Design Support: Collaborate with project teams to integrate ammonia-specific knowledge into system design, including production, handling and storage systems. Conduct detailed reviews of engineering drawings, documentation, and vendor data to ensure technical accuracy and alignment with specifications for ammonia systems. -Acts in alignment with overall business strategy, GHD’s best practices and Code of Conduct. -Engineering Solutions Design: Review engineering solutions and the associated validation process to enable the realization of a design brief (for example, in terms of functionality, performance, and cost) that conforms to organizational and/or regulatory standards. -Technology Assessment: Support the assessment of ammonia production technologies, (e.g., green ammonia from renewable energy or blue ammonia with carbon capture) and contribute to selection of the most suitable technology taking into consideration the specific project requirements and economic constraints. -Process Safety Management: Participate in process safety management (PSM) assessments, including hazard and operability (HAZOP) studies, to identify potential hazards and implement mitigation measures to ensure safe operation of ammonia production systems. -Ammonia Design Considerations and Challenges: Provide technical support to project design teams in addressing the complexities of integrated ammonia production systems. This includes front-end syngas generation via steam methane reforming (SMR) and two-step reforming processes, focusing on optimal reactor design, catalyst selection, and heat integration. Additionally, support the design and optimization of the ammonia synthesis loop. Address critical considerations such as materials compatibility for high-temperature and high-pressure equipment and piping, infrastructure design for ammonia storage and handling, and the development of ammonia-specific training content to promote safe operations for personnel involved across the full ammonia production and handling value chain -Knowledge Management System: Work within established knowledge management systems to deliver preset outcomes for an area of responsibility.
