Expertise to raise design effectiveness and operations performance
Experienced in chemicals processing operations with design and analysis to mitigate corrosion damage, enhance useful asset life, increase operational efficiency and effectively treat wastewater.
OVERVIEW
Complex chemical behavior under demanding process conditions negatively impacts performance
Rudimentary understanding of chemical behavior and related phenomena result in weak designs including sub-optimal pilot plants. Low yields and high manufacturing costs are often due to poor asset integrity created by scaling, fouling and corrosion and sub-optimal materials selection while the inability to eliminate toxins from disposed water, waste and air emissions introduces regulatory compliance risks.
APPLICATIONS
Increase design quality, operations efficiency and sustainability
The ability to characterize complex chemistry behavior under a wide range of operating conditions coupled with deep domain knowledge of applications unlocks significant business value.
Developed more effective design of the Hydrogen Bromide distillation column using in-depth electrolyte chemistry insights, digital simulations and process expertise and improved performance
Identified the root causes of corrosion in pipelines carrying sulfuric acid and identified safe operating regions to mitigate corrosion risk
Improved asset integrity and safety of containers used to store hazardous waste from chemicals processing
Developed recommendation for optimal chemical dosing quantities for chemical treatment programs to mitigate scale formation in an oil and gas production application.
