• Managed/managing projects ranging from equipment retrofit to full-scale fluidized bed reactor systems.
• Managed design through construction of electrically-heated skid-mounted laboratory-scale Inconel 601 fluid bed reactor system for CVD at 980° C. Created original, aesthetic design of easily insertable reaction canister.
• Led R&D work to develop a fluid bed dehydration process for a high-temperature coating compound that led to a full-scale process system purchase. Designed complete full-scale process system including 84” diameter x 27’.
• Facilitated & negotiated buyback of reactor system to be retrofitted from former client for use in Procedyne's toll processing facility. Managing fabrication/manufacturing/assembly of 50-foot high processing facility.
• Managing system design plus fabrication, manufacturing, and assembly of waste-to-energy prototype of full-scale facility for conversion of 800 metric tons per year of plastic waste to fuel oil. Responsible for design.

• Responsible for customer contact and on-site assistance for troubleshooting of problems that occur in our national and international installations. Some notable fixes:
• Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico: Material had been bypassing the filtration system of a fluidized bed in a refinery due to inconsistent machining of female threads that held the filter elements. Designed and had.
• Orange, Texas. Blowback filtration system was not functioning properly due to insufficient blowback gas flow through filter elements. Designed and had machined a special venturi contained within a bushing that were.
• Cleveland, OH: Material was seeping through the distributor plate of a high-temperature fluidized bed reactor, causing pressure issues due to build-up of material in the reactor plenum. Designed and had fabricated and.
