Carlos Alberto Miranda Abella Email & Phone Number

• Researcher in Water Treatment. Development of solutions for water purification in a broad range of industries. E.g., scale/corrosion inhibitors, coagulants, flocculants, and biocides. • Researcher in Oil & Gas. Development of solutions for oil and gas production.E.g., direct and reverse emulsion breakers, friction reducers, paraffin inhibitors, biocides, and foam assisted lifting operations. • Researcher in Pulp and Paper. Technology transfer of products from HQ, going from lab scale, through pilot plant and plant batches. E.g., dry and wet strength resins, creping adhesives, and lubricating softeners for tissue.

As R&D coordinator, supervised a team of chemists from graduate to PhD level, a trainee and an agronomist. Led the improvement of existing processes as well as development and implementation of new processes, for both active ingredient synthesis and formulated agrochemicals. Worked closely with regulatory affairs writing technical reports and at the manufacturing plant with the launching of new products and troubleshooting nonconformity issues.
