  7 Resume addendum: IndustrialMaintenance and Construction Experience. Anthony L. Lowery, 2511 Dee Lane, Sulphur, LA 70665, 337-853-5333. Some may say or think that it has been a long time since I have worked in the chemical industry. But after 25 years of full time work within that industry, I can still clearly visualize everything. How each works, how each is assembled and how each is repaired/replaced/modified. 50,000 hours plus TAR and start-up 12 hour days, maybe 65,000 hours. First, safety: Electrical Tag and lockout, Inlet valves tag and lockout(hydraulic energy lockout), blinding as needed for vessel entry, O2 and contaminant testing, work permits, vessel entry permits, hot work permits, Line breaking permits, safety equipment as typical and as needed for each specific job. Also air line masks, escape packs, 30 minute air packs, etc. Pumps: centrifugal, positive placement, progressive cavity, screw, gear, vacuum. I know all of the leveling, alignment and coupling systems. Stuffing boxes, bearings, lubrication, seal faces cooling and flushes. Towers: distillation, fractionation, reaction, cracking, separation, trays, tray holders, tray replacement, bubble cap, packing, differential pressure requirements, and numerous other configurations Tanks: day tanks, raw materials, vortex breakers, agitators Vessels: reaction, spargers, De-superheaters: 450# superheated to 70# de- superheated. High pressure screw pumps de-mineralized water spray Conveyors: Bucket, belt, screw, air conveyance Reactors: In-line and vessels Chillers/Coolers/Heaters: plate, tube & shell, Re-boilers: Tube, pump and thermo-syphon.

  8 Vacuum Jets: vaporor fluid motivated, stilling wells, and progressive jet configurations. File records: RT, PWHT, HYDRO, PSV TESTING, PIPE, TANKS, VESSEL, TOWER and materials of construction, MTR’s. Also lubrication and clearance measurements with dial or laser measurements for checking of acceptable or non-acceptable variance showing bushing or bearing wear. The above list could go on and become quite exhaustive, so I ask that we have an in-depth conversation. INDUSTRIAL CONSTRUCTION: Deep foundations (piers and piles), pile caps, rebar settings, anchor bolts for columns, towers, tanks, vessels, and structural steel. Structural steel decks with grating, stairwells and caged ladders. I have supervised the installation of SPCC containment slabs and drains and roadways. I have supervised the installation of storm drainage, pipe rack foundations and structural steel. I have the PIPs for industrial stairs (fixed) and caged ladders, handrails and grating systems. A complete understanding of pipe ISOs and tagged parts packages, the field installation of the pipe and field welding and required hydro and/or additional RT required after installation. I have a complete understanding and supervision of structural packages and the tagging and installation of the components. I am experienced in the setting of towers, columns, tanks, vessels for correct orientation and mating of the connecting pipe and other associated equipment. Essentially: my skills span from construction expertise of deep foundations through to the finished product production and the maintenance expertise to assure continued production quota and quality. Also the Planning/Scheduling/Cost Management (PROJECT CONTROLS) of all of the above.
