Biography:
Yoshio Zuniga has been working in the Oil and Gas industry for 5 years. As a Mechanical Engineer, Yoshio has worked in FEED and EPC stages for coal power plants, methanol plants, and LNG plants. Yoshio main equipment focuses have included Tanks (Field Fab, Shop Fab and FRP Tanks), Pressure Vessels (Drums, Columns, and Reactors), and Heat Exchangers (Shell and Tube, Air Coolers, Plate and Frame, Electric Heaters, Ambient Air Vaporizers and Brazed Aluminum). Yoshio has also spent time in construction over at an LNG facility in Freeport Texas as a Site Technical Services. His role dealt with making sure preservation and maintenance procedures are been applied on the equipment, and answering mechanical installation issues. Equipment issues deal with include GTG, BOG Compressors, Plate and Frames and Air Coolers.
Previous to coming into the Oil and Gas industry Yoshio comes from a research and development background, hosted over at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology laboratories. His research involved in the development of efficient volumetric solar collectors and desalination process including zeolite composite material and humidification and dehumidication systems.
