How will you CONTRIBUTE and GROW?

Air Liquide's Biogas Solutions Americas operates a fleet of waste-to-energy production facilities across the USA, transforming waste from landfills and agricultural sources to pipeline-grade renewable natural gas (RNG). Today, Air Liquide operates 6 landfill-based facilities (IL ,WI, LA, MS, GA) and is constructing two agriculturally-fed anaerobic digester facilities (PA, MI), with more in development. The Operations Intern will be responsible for the standardization and creation of critical, controlled documentation for the plant operations, including assisting with the creation of "process reference documents" that describe critical information about each unit operation at the facility. The intern will also assist in document control using standard software used in industrial plant environments. This will prove to be a fruitful learning opportunity for the intern, offering regular exposure to day-to-day industrial plant operations, an in-depth look at the real-world operation of common industrial equipment, and a first-hand experience in how the energy transition is manifesting in the USA.

Duties and Responsibilities

  • Conduct onsite visits to two landfill-based RNG facilities operated by Air Liquide (more if time permits)

  • Work with plant staff to create process reference documents for each unit operation in the plant (e.g., rotating equipment, separation equipment, gas conditioning equipment) detailing for each the inputs/outputs, utility requirements, consumables, safety considerations, and more

  • Audit controlled documents for consistency with process and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) and process flow diagrams (PFDs)

  • Standardize plant standard operating procedures (SOPs) to a single format for compliance with auditing requirements
