Profile - Charlie JacobsMPEC, Inc. - Houston, Texas – March, 2000 to Present

After taking early retirement from Simpson, Charlie joined MPEC, Inc. where he provides expertise in computer systems, and computer and data methods. He does general engineering work and runs simulation and optimization studies.

Champion International / Simpson Paper Company - Pasadena, Texas - June, 1968 to January, 2000

Charlie joined Champion International as a Process Engineer. Because of his computer background, he was selected to form the new process control department, where he was to conceptualize, design and implement computer process controls. He worked along with IBM who was developing their first process computer. This was some of the first computerized process control developed. He was promoted to Senior Process Engineer and Manager of Process Controls. Under his direction, the roll of computers was expanded from process control to production systems to information systems with true millwide computer control. He instituted predictive controls, self-tuning, advanced feed-forward algorithms and many other high level controls which were not yet commercially available. He also developed the first closed loop color control in the paper industry. This included the development of the prototype color sensor. Through an association with online sensor vendors, the controls he developed have been incorporated into their sensor and control packages. He was recognized by TAPPI for this work. During this time he was a frequent lecturer at TAPPI-ARKLATEX.

In 1989, Simpson purchased the Pasadena Mill from Champion. Charlie’s employment with Simpson began with technology identification and vendor selection for millwide conversion from discrete analog pneumatic instrumentation controlled by process computers to electronic DCS systems and Plantwide Information systems. He has experience with Foxboro and Fisher DCS systems. The new systems incorporated all previously developed higher level controls and was highly integrated into a total millwide control system. All process, quality, production and financial information was presented as a single system to both mill personnel, corporate personnel and the customer base. Both Total Quality and Statistical Methods were incorporated to enhance the overall picture. Personal Computers and plantwide networks provide users with an interactive graphic interface for operations. He has been Chairman of the Managers Quality Council and the Managers Safety Council. He worked as an Evaluator and Change Manager during several different corporate reorganizations. When the Mill sold in January, 1999, Charlie opted for early retirement, but remained an employee with Simpson till January, 2000.

An Example Experience

In El Paso, Texas, an independent bought an 18 MBPSD refinery from a major. The Crude Unit’s heater was being overfired, the column was flooded, the overhead condensers were overloaded, and the preheat exchangers were being so overpressured that the relief valves were being blocked in. Three months before a turnaround, MPEC was asked if the unit could be revised for higher capacity. The answer, based on previous experience, was yes! Time was short, so MPEC outlined piping changes that were engineered in conjunction with the process design engineering. Three and one-half months later, the turnaround / expansion was completed, and the Crude Unit started up to run at 25 MBPSD (a 40% expansion) without a single new piece of major equipment, and at essentially the same absolute energy consumption!

The secret lay in understanding Crude Unit optimization through use of a pre-flash drum to allow flashing of the light crude to unload the heater, the Crude Column, and its overhead. Based on this success, MPEC was used exclusively for all process evaluations in the refinery for the next 5 years (until it re-changed ownership to a major). This entailed revising all the downstream units to handle the higher Crude Unit capacity, and eventually expanding the refinery to 55 MBPSD.

Deliverables

Equipment Data Collection When preparing a process study, MPEC normally first goes to the unit and collects the equipment

data. Summaries of the major equipment data are then prepared such as this exchanger data table.

Page 16: MPEC, Inc. · Butane Fractionation Process Design Chevron U.S.A. Products Company (Now Western Refining) El Paso, TX

MPEC Deliverables – PFD Overview

After reviewing plant operations, an up to date PFD of the unit is then drawn and the typical current operating data is shown, including feed and product distillations and/or compositions.

MPEC’s PFD’s contain all the essential information needed by a process engineer. For example, all line sizes, vessel sizes, and number of trays are included. Also, all vessels are drawn to the same scale. All control valves and control schemes are includedas well as all flow meters. Information such as temperature, pressure, vapor flow, and liquid flow are shown in flags connected to the process lines.

MPEC rigorously simulates each piece of major equipment using a variety of programs. “PRO/II” can rigorously do shell and tube exchangers and generate outputs such as this.

Page 22: MPEC, Inc. · Butane Fractionation Process Design Chevron U.S.A. Products Company (Now Western Refining) El Paso, TX

MPEC can also rigorously do entire networks of exchangers using our in-house “HEXN” program. “HEXN” also has the capability of calculating air coolers and G-fin exchanger.

Otherwise average mix viscosity on a volume basis.Note 3) If Re <= 2000, then flow is laminer and this cell uses f = 64 / Re instead.Note 4) If Re <40,000 Look up C factor for square-edge orifices on page A-20 of Crane's and put in box provided.Note 5) If ΔPo / Pin(in psia) > 0.5, then vapor systems become sonic and this calculation becomes incorrect.Note 6) Do not design for less than 0.25 psi (ΔP)o @ 100% of flow, and preferably at 50% of flow.

MPEC Deliverables -- Recommendations

Once the unit’s existing capabilities and problems are understood, MPEC can then reuse these same computer tools to improve the unit’s performance and/or expand its capacity without making any unnecessary changes to the unit.

Typically better column internals, better heat exchanger bundles, and more optimized piping can be installed to substantially improve unit capacities with little or no major equipment additions or replacements.

B-6 Refining Horizons THEOILDAILY March 24, 1992

Doug McDaniel Aims to Provide Alternatives for Small RefinersBy Susie T. Parker

William D. “Doug” McDan-iel likes the challenge of hav-ing to come up with real so-lutions to the problems thatmany independent domesticrefiners face today. “People come in with realproblems and you work themout. I enjoy that becausethat’s real engineering,” hetells Refining Horizons. After20 years in the business, hesaid it’s still a “soberingthought” to see a refinery putinto effect changes he’s pro-posed. Somewhat of a refiningtroubleshooter, McDaniel saidhe began his own consultingand process engineering firm,MPEC Inc., in 1988 to focuson a “niche market” that wasnot, and is not, being handledproperly by the larger engi-neering companies. Thatmarket is the process engi-neering requirements of thesmall independent refiners. Major engineering compa-nies “are dedicated to (jobs)that are the biggest and cost-liest,” said McDaniel. As such, he added, theyoften suggest changes thatare not in the best interests ofsmall refiners, many of whomsimply want to maximize the

output of their existing plantsin the least costly mannerpossible.

Not Really Needed In short, McDaniel believesthe major engineering firms,who concentrate on mega-projects, often proposechanges to small refineriesthat aren’t really needed. They “do a bunch of workand run up big bills,” he said.“The smaller refiners’ needsrequire more interest andtime that the majors arewilling and able to give them,”he adds. Houston-basedMPEC tries to fill that void bydoing the work “more effec-tively and cheaper.” In one instance, McDanielsaid El Paso Refining Co. inEl Paso, Texas, sought thehelp of larger engineeringcompanies in boosting thecapacity of its refinery. “The other engineers said(the plant) was bottleneckedout and running at full limit.We suggested some pipingchanges that raised the ca-pacity from 18,000 barrels aday to as high as 27,000b/d,”said McDaniel. The job, which took placein 1988, saved El Paso $1million per month at the re-finery, he noted.

Acts as Advance Team McDaniel said MPECdoesn’t take away businessfrom major engineering firms.Instead, it acts as sort of anadvance team by doing theprocess engineering work forthe small refiners. The largeengineering firms usuallythen follow and perform de-finitive engineering work. “I believe that the majorengineering (companies)would just as soon havesomeone give them the proc-ess designs: so they can focuson definitive engineering,” hesaid. The reason: “Most of themoney is made on the defini-tive design.” McDaniel estimates thatprocess design work accountsfor only 2 percent of the totalcosts of a stand-alone grass-roots facility, while definitiveengineering accounts for 12percent. “We cater to the small re-fineries that don’t have proc-ess expertise,” he noted.

Like an Architect McDaniel likens a processengineer’s job to that of anarchitect. He works on com-puters and doesn’t go near“any of the hard stuff such assteel and concrete.” The “dirtywork” is left up to the defini-tive engineer, whose job islike that of a builder.

For a refinery, the processengineer’s job is to examine“the jillions of questions thatgo into the actual design.There are a lot of little ques-tions that the process engi-neer needs to ask in layingout the game plan. These canonly be answered by the in-terplay between the ownerand the process engineer,”said McDaniel. Because of all the consid-erations, he noted, “there areno two refineries that are thesame. They are almost alwayscustom-designed for the indi-vidual customer.” On the other hand, thedefinitive engineer’s workincludes things such as thefoundation, structural work,column thickness and piping.“All their work amounts tomechanical work,” saidMcDaniel.

Limited Clientele He indicated that histhree-man firm has a limitedclientele, with only five or sixclients: “I’m just known in thebusiness among a few selectrefiners, and that keeps mebusy.” The “hardest thing is to getfinished the work I’ve prom-ised in the time allowed,”observed McDaniel. But, heacknowledged, “I’m in thekind of business where a

busy schedule can quicklyturn into a not-so-busyschedule.” He said his work can be-come “very limited” as inde-pendent refiners close downcapacity due to the high costof implementing federal andstate environmental regula-tions. If that happens, he saidhe may have to go to work fora major engineering com-pany. “That’s just a fact oflife.”

Cites Peter Principle In the meantime, McDan-iel, 45, said he has yet tosuccumb to the Peter Princi-ple, “where guys get promoteduntil they’re incompetent.” He adds that he won’t getrich doing what he does, butrather collects a manage-ment-type salary. He seeshimself as the general practi-tioner rather than the spe-cialized heart surgeon, whomakes the big bucks. McDaniel, who is presidentof MPEC, is joined by partner,Joe Musumeci, and his wife,Sharon, who is secretary andtreasurer. “She allows me to donothing but process designand optimization work.Thanks to her, I can dedicatemy full time to engineering.That’s a valuable partner in asmall business.”
