Representative Projects
Air Separation Plants
- Subject Matter Expert for the Material Business Interruption Risk study of four air separation units with tonnage ranging from 240 to 1,600 tonnes of oxygen per day. (Papua New Guinea)
- Designed liquid oxygen and nitrogen back-up systems immune to power black-out. (Indonesia)
- Developed the engineering and cost studies to relocate two air separation plants. Reviewed O2 supply contract and developed comparative cost/benefit analysis to plant ownership. (USA)
- Client representative for the construction and start-up of more than 20 cryogenic air separation and gas liquefaction plants in the USA, Canada, Chile, Argentina, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia.
- Investigated and resolved client concerns on oxygen supply to arc furnaces. Report resulted in oxygen supplier refunding approximately 80 percent of billing. (USA)
- Designed air separation plant and provided process expertise for the IGCC coal gasification immersive simulator. (NETL/DOE)
Custom Processes and Projects
- Designed an indoor testing facility for the advanced liquid oxygen plant outfitted on the USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier. Assisted in commissioning the prototype unit. (USA)
- Designed liquefier for an offshore wind application (USA)
Hydrogen
- Provided engineering support for the re-certification and permitting of a liquid hydrogen tank. (USA)
- Guided the risk assessment study, HAZID, and regulatory compliance per SOLAS, IMO, and Lloyd's Register for a methanol-to-hydrogen reformer to be deployed in maritime applications. (USA)
- Provided engineering support for a green hydrogen opportunity, using electrolyzers powered by renewable energy with alternative form of hydrogen storage. (Canada - First Nation)
