My name is Patrick Clarke and have a diverse 30+ year chemical engineering background with industrial, research and academic experience. I have worked for both Engineering Procurement and Construction companies (EPC's) and operators on projects ranging from SAGD, hydrogen and light ends units, through to heavy oil processing and pipelining to utility systems. I have also spent significant time at sites with exposure to operating units and their relevant challenges including de-bottlenecking, troubleshooting, and revamping. This experience enables me to contribute in a wide variety of functions from conceptual design, design basis development, basic and detailed engineering, operations support, and technology development. Prior to moving to industry I was involved with research and teaching.Besides my solid engineering experience, areas of expertise are in dynamic simulation (using both vendor software and developed from first principles) and in technical writing.
