• Urea-Formaldehyde Plant Nutrient Solution Containing High Levels of Slow Release Nitrogen. US Patent Application No. 2004/0168,493, Canadian Patent "CA 2458083"• Determination of Kjeldahl nitrogen in fertilizers by AOAC official methods 978.02: effect of copper sulfate as a catalyst. JAOAC Int 2014 May-Jun;97(3):764-7.• Validation for the Determination of Biuret in Water-Soluble, Urea-Based Commercial Inorganic Fertilizer Materials, Urea Solutions, and Sulfur-Coated Urea Products by Reverse-Phase Liquid Chromatography: Single-Laboratory Validation of an Extension of AOAC Method 2003.14• Resolve issues related to the full scale production of Triazone compounds.• Participate in start-up of full scale production of Triazone, the main ingredients used as slow release nitrogen (SRN) compounds.• Participated in collaborative Study of Liquid Chromatographic Determination of urea in Water-Soluble urea-formaldehyde Fertilizer Products and in Aqueous urea Solutions "Journal of AOAC International, Vol 87, Number 2, March 2004, pp. 346-351 (6)" http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=15762222• Concluded patent study on magnesium thiosulfate as ozone and chlorine quencher (2006). http://www.patents.com/Magnesium-thiosulfate-ozone-chlorine-quencher/US20060104876/en-US/• Assist the sales and field personnel on studying the stability and compatibility of fertilizers and other additives.• Assist the customers with calculations and compatibility inquiries. Insert the calculations in a plug and read excel sheet format, per request.• QC fertilizers, issue COA, analyze out-of-spec samples to identify source and possible methods to improve their quality.• Prepare charts to predict the quality of production by just measuring the refractive index (RI) of the product. This will facilitate and expedite the shipment of rush orders until the sample is analyzed.• Prepare SOP and QC chart for analytical instruments.

• Studied the chemical treatment of wastewater and air by the means of ultraviolet light, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and catalyst in lab and pilot scale.• Predicted the efficiency of the treatment on targeted contaminant applying Microsoft Excel which reduced cost of the treatability study.• Performed related task of sampling of air, UST, groundwater, and industrial wastewater.• Analyzed environmental samples applying analytical instruments on-site or in laboratory.• Provided technical assistance and recommendation to sales and prepared treatability-study report, SOP, and trained junior chemists.
