Profile bio
About Heine Weitz
I love finding creative ways for analysing and improving processes. Not only to help clients increase their profit, but also to limit the impact that the industry has on the environment. My professional interests include system analysis, structured process development and improvement, thermochemistry, and computational modelling. Writing is something that I am very passionate about. I find telling stories with text and beautiful visualisation, supported by the sound application of engineering, extremely fulfilling.I am a metallurgical engineer with a good balance of technical and management responsibilities and experience. Most of my career has been in pyrometallurgy, but I also have valuable experience in minerals processing, and environmental reporting and verification. I have had the privilege of working with numerous commodities across the globe, including in Africa, North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. For the last few years, I have been working at Ex Mente, a team of process development and improvement specialists. We do structured research at speeds that are in line with what industry requires. In 2022 we expanded to Europe, and I am now based in the Netherlands, from where I am helping to expand our participation in the metallurgical industry.
Listed skills include Metallurgy, Process Engineering, Commissioning, Mineral Processing, and 1 others.
