Continuous Fermentation Natural Curing-Agent Process

Food ingredients manufacturer Capital Project Engineer; owning workstream PG-B-03; authority VP Operations.

2014-09-01 to 2017-06-30; budget $18,400,000; forecast variance (budget less EAC) $368,000.

Directed the translation of approved scope into procurement and supplier-data requirements, construction/configuration work packages, inspection and change records, mechanical completion and readiness evidence.

Used requirements-to-acceptance traceability, WBS and control schedule, cost/resource registers, agreements and acceptance records, baselines, risk/change controls, commissioning evidence, training, and G9 ownership transfer.

Feed identity; initial pasteurization; inoculum and culture purity; sanitized feed and inoculation circuits; sanitary sampling; closed fermentation and harvest; contamination and campaign-state trending; pH dosing; campaign cleaning; terminal inactivation; downstream protection; viable-effluent control.

76 controlled project documents across nine lifecycle phases, 362 linked execution records, accepted G1-G9 gates, and final baseline PRJ-B-004-BL-OT-B01.

OPERATIONAL / CLOSED; Harvest rate controlled above feed rate; continuous conversion architecture; operational turnover completed

Operations received Continuous fermentation production system with accepted configuration, procedures, training, asset and maintenance records, residual-item disposition, and ownership.

Delivered Continuous fermentation production system, measured by Harvest rate controlled above feed rate; continuous conversion architecture; operational turnover completed, by executing V-model stage-gate with bioprocess pilot from concept through G9 closeout.

• Operations Team

  Operating Participation

  Team Contribution

  Received the — Continuous Fermentation Natural Curing-Agent Process capability, procedures, training, records and operating ownership at turnover.

• Project Ownership

  Full lifecycle project ownership

  Owned the full project lifecycle: capital planning and prioritization, need definition, feasibility and scope development, engineering and AFE justification, procurement and vendor coordination, construction sequencing and field oversight, commissioning, turnover, and post-startup support. Connected operating requirements with technical scope, funding decisions, execution readiness, and the needs of operations and maintenance.

• Integrate Fermentation and Acetation StagesApplication relevance
  Why these connect

  How do biological conditions, utilities and controls interact in the process? The relationship concerns fermentation-process interfaces and culture controls; the food-ingredient activity does not establish use of every organism named in the capability.
