VinVentius Safety Engineering

• Executing independent pressure relief studies, scenario analyses, and relief capacity calculations remotely for the Dutch process industry.

• Responsible for the operational performance, safety, and technological improvement of the Ethyl Lactate plant, including its steam utilities.
• Designed and implemented a new steam header to optimize plant efficiency and safety.
• Designed new process installations, including a storage tank, a catalyst dosing system, heat exchanger setups, and product pump redundancies.
• Led and facilitated HAZOP studies and technically engineered the resulting action items.
• Initiated Management of Change (MOC) procedures for various modifications, including new pressure safety valves (PSVs), process controls, chiller units, and the optimization of a steam boiler.
• Drafted, updated, and reviewed PFDs, P&IDs, and URS (User Requirement Specification) documents.

• Led and managed the complete revalidation and re-engineering of pressure safety valves (PSVs) and bursting discs (BDs) to ensure full compliance with PED regulations. This included relief load calculations, selection/documentation of pressure relief devices, generating datasheets, and reviewing isometrics.
• Accountable for the process reliability and safety of the Fischer-Tropsch catalyst plant.
• Managed and reviewed complete PSV and bursting disc documentation in accordance with API and BASF standards.
• Drafted and evaluated SIL/SIF documentation.
• Actively participated in HAZOP studies and action item solving.

• Monitored and optimized daily plant production and implemented process and safety improvements (CAPEX projects).
• Improved and streamlined emergency shutdown (ESD) and SIF proof-testing procedures.
• Chaired and led HAZOP studies in combination with executing SIL classifications.
• Conducted root cause analyses for complex, non-routine production issues.

• Developed and optimized heat-seal processes for biomedical equipment using Lean Six Sigma (Design of Experiments) methodologies.

• Research focused on the development of micro-scale reactors and processes (microfluidics & chemical engineering).
• Assistant lecturer for the university Master's course in Advanced Fluid Dynamics.

Specialization focused on Process Design and Process Modeling. Master thesis research on the production of fine polymer particles using supercritical CO₂.
