Overview
We are seeking a Plant Corrosion Engineer to join the Riyas Engineering Division (RNGLFD) which is part of the Riyas NGL Fractionation Dept (RNGLFD)
RNGLFD is responsible for two trains, each designed to process 255 MBOD (242.25 MBCD). Each train will include fractionation units, C3 & C4 treatment, C3 & C4 dehydration and propane refrigeration. The common facilities will include feed and product surge storage, chemicals storage and utilities including, but not limited to, steam and condensate recovery systems, utility water, plant, instrument air and nitrogen systems, machinery cooling water, drainage and flare systems. Some of the systems (e.g., steam headers, flare headers, product storage) have been pre-invested for the future train.
Your primary role will be to implement, support and continually improve RNGLFP inspection corrosion management programs and provide consolatory advice in materials, ensuring cost effective material selection and corrosion mitigation strategies, which will ensure mechanical integrity of the materials, applied on all plant assets including equipment and piping through their life cycle.
