Usama I.

I am a Process Engineer with ~10 years of experience in Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, and Fertilizer industries, currently working on secondment at Q-Chem, Qatar. My expertise covers the full project lifecycle ,feasibility studies, FEED, detailed engineering, EPC execution, and operations support—across both greenfield and brownfield projects.

I have strong technical competencies in process design, hydraulic evaluations, relief and flare systems, separation technologies, heat exchanger design, and simulation tools (Aspen HYSYS, PRO/II, UniSim, FlareNet, Pipenet, OLGA). I bring extensive experience in HAZOP, HAZID, SIL/LOPA, and PSSR, with a proven track record of delivering safe, efficient, and cost-effective engineering solutions in collaboration with international licensors and multidisciplinary teams.

Key achievements include leading debottlenecking and energy optimization projects, delivering CAPEX justifications, supporting ethylene and gas processing facility upgrades, and driving operational improvements through troubleshooting and continuous improvement initiatives.

I hold a TÜV Rheinland Functional Safety Engineering certification and am passionate about applying engineering best practices to enhance plant reliability, safety, and performance.
