## Miguel Ocampo — Senior Process Engineer

Chemical engineer with thirteen years on continuous processes in specialty chemicals and refining. Redesigned a distillation train that lifted yield 4.2 points and cut steam demand 38,000 lb/hr, paying back its $2.6M cost in fourteen months. Licensed PE and the plant HAZOP facilitator since 2021.

### Experience

**Senior Process Engineer**, Ravenwood Chemical · February 2020 – present

Technical owner of two continuous trains producing 180,000 tons a year of specialty intermediates.

- Redesigned a three-column distillation train, raising yield 4.2 points and cutting steam demand 38,000 lb/hr for a fourteen-month payback on $2.6M.
- Facilitated 19 HAZOPs and closed 240 of 261 recommendations inside the two-year PSM cycle, against 61% closure in the prior cycle.
- Ended a recurring reactor fouling shutdown, taking unplanned outages from five a year to one and adding 22 production days.
- Rewrote the startup procedures after a near-miss review; the next two startups ran with no flare events, against a six-event average.

**Process Engineer**, Tidegate Refining · January 2016 – January 2020

- Owned the hydrotreater through two turnarounds, both completed on schedule and 8% under budget.
- Modeled and commissioned a heat-integration project that cut fired-heater duty 11%, worth $840k a year in fuel gas.
- Traced a catalyst deactivation trend to a bypassing feed filter, restoring cycle length from 9 months to 15.

**Process Engineer**, Ashfall Polymers · July 2013 – December 2015

- Commissioned an extrusion line from water batching to on-spec product in 26 days against a 45-day plan.
- Cut off-spec resin 31% by retuning melt-temperature control loops and adding a die-pressure alarm.
