Key Responsibilities:

• Low-Pressure Steam Recovery:

  • Develop and implement technologies for the recovery and utilization of low-pressure exhaust steam generated during the Bayer process.

  • Design and optimize systems to capture waste steam, reducing water consumption and heat energy waste.

  • Collaborate with engineers to integrate recovery systems into existing production processes, reducing overall steam energy consumption.

• Scale Removal and Prevention:

  • Identify and develop cost-effective solutions for suppressing or mitigating scale formation on heat exchangers, evaporators, and piping.

  • Research and implement efficient scale treatment methods to maintain or improve heat transfer efficiency in the Bayer process.

  • Propose and oversee regular maintenance practices to prevent or minimize scale buildup and ensure optimal equipment performance.

• Process Optimization:

  • Continuously analyze alumina production processes for potential improvements in energy efficiency, resource utilization, and overall cost reduction.

  • Provide technical support and training to production teams on the new technologies and equipment for steam recovery and scale treatment.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to test and implement innovative solutions.

• Research and Development:

• Conduct research into new technologies, materials, or equipment that can improve both steam recovery and scale treatment in alumina production.

• Stay updated on industry trends and breakthroughs in energy recovery, heat transfer, and process efficiency.

Job Requirements:

• Educational Background:

  • PhD’s degree or higher in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Metallurgical Engineering, or a related field.

  • Additional certifications in energy efficiency or process optimization are a plus.

• Experience:

  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in alumina production or related industries, with expertise in the Bayer process.

  • Proven track record in steam recovery systems, heat exchangers, evaporators, and scale management.

  • Familiarity with energy efficiency optimization and reducing thermal waste in industrial processes.

• Technical Skills:

  • Strong understanding of the Bayer process for alumina production, especially related to steam generation, energy recovery, and heat exchange systems.

  • In-depth knowledge of scale formation, its impacts, and methods for scale treatment and prevention.

  • Experience in designing and implementing industrial-scale recovery systems and scale removal technologies.

• Problem Solving and Innovation:

  • Ability to think critically and innovate solutions that improve cost-efficiency, energy use, and operational performance.

  • Experience in researching and applying new technologies to industrial processes.

• Communication Skills:

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills to effectively report findings and collaborate with teams.

  • Ability to present complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

• Languages:

  • Proficiency in English is required; additional language skills are a plus.
