Mohammadali Jalalvandi

I am a Senior Mechanical and Static Equipment Engineer with more than 23 years of experience in the design, engineering, technical review, and project coordination of fixed equipment for oil, gas, petrochemical, refinery, and industrial projects. Throughout my career, I have been involved in the design and execution of major EPC projects, specializing in Pressure Vessels, Heat Exchangers, Storage Tanks, Towers, Reactors, and Air Coolers. My technical expertise includes mechanical design calculations, equipment sizing, stress analysis, heat exchanger thermal design, procurement engineering, vendor document review, fabrication support, and multidisciplinary engineering coordination.

I have extensive experience working in accordance with international codes and standards, adhering ASME Section VIII Div.1 & Div.2 to design by rule or design by analysis accordingly, and API 650 up to 3.2 psi Design Pressure and otherwise API 620 standards for storage tank design, API 660 for shell and tube heat exchanger, API 661 about air cooler, TEMA, PD5500, and AISC. I have a strong background in preparing technical proposals, performing stress and finite element analysis, and overseeing the entire design process to ensure structural integrity and compliance. I am proficient in industry-leading engineering software such as PV Elite, Compress, HTRI, B-Jac, NOZZLEPRO, ANSYS, AutoCAD, SAP 2000 and SolidWorks.

During my professional career with AZARAB and ODCC, I have contributed to numerous refinery, petrochemical, LNG, and gas processing projects including South Pars Gas Field Developments, Abadan Refinery Upgrade Project, Esfahan Refinery Development Project, NIOC LNG Project, and several large-scale petrochemical facilities.
