Job summary

Aditya Birla Group's Copper Manufacturing unit in Dahej is hiring a senior process engineer to monitor SAP-based processes, optimise acid production and improve energy efficiency. You will lead cross-functional teams to analyse quality parameters, implement debottlenecking, drive digital dashboards, and establish robust SOPs for stable plant operation.

The role requires an advanced degree in chemical engineering and hands-on experience with process control, safety, and sustainability initiatives

Qualifications

• Monitor and analyse SAP process, operating and quality parameters.
• Optimize SO2 conversion, sulphur capture, acid production and acid quality.
• Analyse the impact of smelter off-gas flow, SO2 strength, temperature, moisture, dust and impurities on SAP performance.
• Optimize gas cleaning, scrubber and gas cooling systems for stable downstream operation.
• Improve drying tower, absorption tower and acid circulation system performance.

Responsibilities

• Monitor converter temperature profile, catalyst activity and conversion efficiency.
• Identify and resolve causes of low conversion, high stack SO2, acid mist and process instability.
• Improve product acid strength, purity and consistency and reduce off-spec acid generation.
• Analyse impurity build-up and recirculation and its impact on acid quality and equipment.
• Reduce effluent, sludge, bleed, acid losses and waste generation.
• Explore recovery of Cu and other valuable metals from SAP bleed, sludge and waste streams.
• Optimize steam, power, cooling water and energy consumption.
• Identify opportunities for heat and energy recovery from the acid-making process.
