Work History
Production Engineer
Anchor Allied Factory LLC
02.2024 - Current
- Lead the batch monitoring process for exothermic reactions, ensuring precise control of monomer addition rates and temperature profiles to achieve target molecular weights
- Ensure all batches meet strict R&D specifications for solids content, pH, and tensile strength before being cleared for the filling line
- Maintain rigorous safety protocols for handling volatile raw materials used in adhesives, including solvent-based systems and reactive prepolymers
- Compare theoretical vs. actual yields for every production schedule cycle, identifying and correcting sources of material loss in the sealant extrusion process
- Implement labor plans that include cross-training for operators on specialized equipment, such as planetary mixers for sealants and distillation units for polymer recovery
- Coordinate with the warehouse to ensure raw material availability aligns with the production schedule, preventing delays in the manufacturing of seasonal waterproofing products
- Implement "First-In-First-Out" (FIFO) protocols for reactive monomers and resins used in adhesives to prevent material expiration and hazardous waste generation
- Conduct systematic investigations into batch failures and implement corrective actions to the production schedule
- Lead daily "Toolbox Talks" as part of the labor plans, focusing on the handling of hazardous chemicals
Project Engineer
Darshan Chemicals
05.2023 - 02.2024
- Monitored installation of materials and equipment for compliance with drawings and specifications.
- Manage cooling water and chilled brine flows to ensure maximum recovery of low-boiling solvents like MDC and Acetone, preventing vapor loss to the scrubbers.
- Perform blending operations for recovered solvents to reach standardized technical grades for reuse in production.
- Manage the distillation of Tetrahydrofuran (THF), Acetone, and Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) to achieve high-purity recovery based on boiling point differentials.
- Adjust reflux ratios specifically for difficult separations, such as recovering Ethyl Acetate or Methylene Dichloride (MDC), to minimize solvent loss.
- Vacuum Distillation: Operate vacuum systems for high-boiling solvents like Di-Butyl Ether to prevent thermal degradation and ensure safe handling at lower temperatures.
