Alejandro Soler Rey

Managed a USD 80,000 project from basic, conceptual, and detailed engineering, leading multidisciplinary teams. Achieved a reduction in process cycle time from 9 days to 6 days. Directed laboratory and production projects applying Lean Six Sigma, resulting in a 40% reduction in scrap costs. Developed and implemented a safer distillation process, replacing hydrogen peroxide and enabling the recovery of 30% of raw materials previously wasted.

Led the design, construction, and commissioning of a single-effect upward-film evaporator and a fractional distillation column with a total budget of USD 180,000. Achieved a 37.5% increase in raw material recovery and a 66.8% reduction in waste sent to the WWTP. Directed a USD 35,000 project implementing solar thermal panels. Achieved a 28% reduction in electricity. Implemented the conversion from diesel to LPG fuel. Achieved a 15.4% energy savings and a 40% reduction in carbon footprint.

Implemented a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) that reduced corrective maintenance by 95%. Increased equipment lifespan and significantly decreased unexpected downtime, optimizing operational availability.

Designed and implemented a shell-and-tube heat exchanger and replaced bubble cap trays in Fractional Distillation Column III, optimizing operational capacity and increasing process efficiency by 92%. Designed and implemented new trays tyoe sieve and a heat exchange system in Fractional Distillation Column II, achieving a 17.4% improvement in equipment efficiency.

Supported the organization and standardization of IMS records, facilitating internal and external audits. Contributed to enhancing traceability and document control, strengthening quality, safety, and environmental management.

Assisted in documenting and updating HSQE procedures and the Integrated Management System (IMS), ensuring compliance with internal policies and external regulations.
