Muayad Al Abri

Who I Am

As a Business Relationship Manager at Falaj Point, I bridge technical chemical and process engineering expertise with business development and strategic advisory. I actively support industrial and energy sector clients across Oman, engaging with the national chemical and process consulting landscape on ministerial-level projects and industrial cluster initiatives.

My foundation is built on rigorous technical knowledge, culminating in a comprehensive capstone project on Blue Hydrogen Production from Flare Gas — simulated using Aspen HYSYS and assessed for techno-economic viability aligned with Oman Vision 2040. My core technical interests encompass process simulation, CO₂ capture, distillation column design, and heat integration.

Prior to my current role, at Falcon Wireline & Drilling Systems, I contributed to process safety documentation, SOPs, and HSE compliance within oil & gas field operations. At Port of Duqm Company (PODC), I worked in industrial asset management and preventive maintenance planning, gaining hands-on exposure to equipment troubleshooting, digital work order systems, and industrial reliability practices.

In parallel, I founded MuayadFit, a digital health and fitness brand in Oman, which served as a dynamic entrepreneurial venture that sharpened my business acumen, partnership building, and data analytics skills.

Featured Projects

🌿 CO₂ Capture & Storage
Aspen HYSYS CO₂ Capture Blue Hydrogen

Carbon Capture & Storage – Technical Design and Analysis

A comprehensive technical study on post-combustion CO₂ capture systems, evaluating absorption-based and membrane separation technologies. The project covers process flow design, equipment sizing, mass and energy balance calculations, and sustainability impact assessment. Simulation results quantify CO₂ reduction potential and evaluate integration with existing industrial processes, providing a feasibility framework aligned with Oman's Vision 2040 decarbonisation targets.

  • Process simulation & mass balances
  • Absorption column design
  • Heat integration optimisation
  • Sustainability & CO₂ quantification
🧪 PCC Plant Proposal
Process Design PCC Production Plant Economics

Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) Plant Proposal

A detailed plant design proposal for a Precipitated Calcium Carbonate production facility, covering raw material selection, reaction pathway (carbonation process), equipment specifications, and process flow diagrams. The study includes techno-economic analysis evaluating CAPEX and OPEX, with a market feasibility assessment. PCC is a key industrial mineral used in paper, plastics, and pharmaceuticals, making this project directly relevant to petrochemical diversification strategies.

  • Reactor design & carbonation process
  • Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs)
  • Techno-economic feasibility (CAPEX/OPEX)
  • Plant layout & equipment sizing
🏗️ Distillation Column Design
Distillation Column Design Mass Transfer

Distillation Column – Detailed Engineering Calculations

A rigorous hand-calculation and simulation-supported study of distillation column design, covering feed tray location, reflux ratio optimisation, number of theoretical plates (McCabe-Thiele method), and column diameter sizing. The project demonstrates a thorough understanding of vapour-liquid equilibrium, tray efficiency, and separation performance — core competencies for refinery fractionation units such as CDU/VDU atmospheric columns and product splitters.

  • McCabe-Thiele & Fenske methods
  • Reflux ratio & tray efficiency
  • VLE & thermodynamic analysis
  • Column sizing & hydraulics
📊 Digital Work Order System
Business Case Digital Transform Asset Reliability

Digital Work Order Form – Business Case & Proposal

A business case presentation for implementing a digital work order management system in an industrial asset management environment. Drawing from my work at Port of Duqm Company, this proposal evaluates the transition from paper-based to digital workflows, quantifies efficiency gains, reduces human-error risk, and improves traceability for maintenance and turnaround planning. Demonstrates strong cross-disciplinary skills in engineering, operations, and digital transformation.

  • Business case development
  • Maintenance workflow optimisation
  • Digital transformation analysis
  • Risk & benefits assessment
