Experience Summary

I have over 20 years of varied experience in chemical engineering covering thermal, separation and reaction processes.

My experience in recent years includes petro-chemical, energy from waste and gasification projects.

I have worked extensively on incineration, gasification and pyrolysis projects and their downstream gas cleaning processes. These projects often included power generation either via a steam cycle or directly using internal combustion engines fuelled by the produced gas.

I have had a significant number of years experience in coke oven by-product plant design, which requires the separation and recovery of components from the crude coke oven gas. I also have experience in the refining of recovered coal by-products.

I have worked in the waste water industry on projects to treat industrial effluents and the processing of municipal waste water and sludges.

My responsibilities have covered; process design; equipment specification; bid appraisals; tender preparation; client and supplier liaison for a wide variety of projects.

Other activities which I have undertaken as a Process Engineer include; safety relief system design; hazardous area analysis; HazOp; process hazard assessment; writing operating and training manuals.

I have also had experience in plant performance testing, commissioning and operator training both at home and abroad.
