Agenda
• Introduction
• My QUIP Experience
• Relation to CHEE 221
• Internship Incentives
• Q&A
Meaghan McTiernan
• Suncor Energy for 12 months– Process Engineering
Development (Oil Sands & In-Situ)
• Supported Upgrading at base plant in Fort McMurray
• Main projects included Caustic Injection, DB Desalting and re-writing coker fractionator protocol
Suncor Family Day Volunteers at the Calgary Stampede 2014
Meaghan McTiernan
• Summer Term Job - 4 months at Suncor Energy– Drilling Engineering Group
Drilling Engineering Team at GlobalFest 2015
Our ride to Stampede 2015
• Validated liner installation software for directional wells
DB Desalting Overview
• Problem: Chloride content, asphaltenes and naphthenic acids in the feed to the Upgrader expected to increase• In the presence of steam, corrosion and fouling become
significant issues
DB Desalting
• New technology on mined bitumen (widely used in Refineries)
• Removes salt from the oil through use of emulsion forming & breaking as well as electrostatic grids
• Vessel internals are proprietary to Cameron; implementation into the plant done by my team
DB Desalting
• How do you design a new system into an existing plant?
-start with your knowns; put into a PFD
-where are your tie ins to the process?
-what flow rates, temperatures and pressures do we need?
•Goal: remove salts from the oil• measure composition in outlet stream
•Capstone design project (CHEE 470) will ask these same questions
Process Design
• Aim to minimize cost; only monitor what is needed– ex. monitor flow exiting the vessel and induce flow into
vessel (CSTR)
• Composition matters!
• Determine vessel operating conditions–what are your desired parameters?–what results will you accept?
QUIP Overview
• 12-16 months degree related, paid internship • Completion of 2nd or 3rd year • Register with QUIP, attend workshops and use
QUIP job postings to apply• Professional Internship degree designation• One year pre-graduation
experience towards P. Eng• Test a career in a particular
industry• Next info session January 6th
