Instrument Engineer Valves

Netherlands, Rotterdam, Zuid-Holland

• Job skills Instrumentation and control systems

In the FEED and subsequent Basic and Detailed phases of a project, the engineers start defining the concept and then continue to work-out the details of the systems, implement vendor data and work closely together with our sub-contractors to prepare the detailed documentation for construction, commissioning and operation. By making use of reputable suppliers, standardized solutions and experienced contractors SBM is able to achieve this in a challenging time frame maintaining high quality.

Valve Selection & Specification:

• Continuously consider cost, constructability, operability and maintainability.
• Specify and/or Select appropriate valves (e.g., ball, gate, globe, check, emergency shutdown valves) based on process requirements and applicable Global Technical Standard (GTS).
• Ensure compliance with international industry standards, Classification requirements, client specifications, and regulatory requirements such as API 520, API 526, API 6A, API 6D, API 609, API 607, NORSOK M-710 or ISO 23936, ASME and other applicable standards.
• Prepare/review technical datasheets, material selection, and pressure-temperature ratings. Strong background in the analysis of Rapid Gas Decompression (RGD) in Valves and Elastomers.
• Relevant FPSO experience shall be preferred.

Instrumentation Engineering & Design Support:

• Discuss with the Technical Authority or assist in the design and development of new valve products or modifications to existing designs.
• Perform calculations for flow rates, pressure drops, and material compatibility.
• Collaborate with instrumentation systems, instrumentation design, process, mechanical and piping teams to integrate valves into systems.
• Ensure valves meet safety and environmental standards such as SIL (Safety Integrity Level) requirements. In this connection, the valve engineer must b...
