While at Strata-G, I have conducted a site-wide assessment of engineered nanomaterial-bearing waste management practices at Oak Ridge National Lab to establish conformance with DOE nanomaterial protocol. Results of this assessment were presented along with measures to improve compliance to ORNL environmental compliance and waste management representatives. I have provided assistance in system startups, performance testing, and obtaining operating permits.I have developed SOPs for… Show more While at Strata-G, I have conducted a site-wide assessment of engineered nanomaterial-bearing waste management practices at Oak Ridge National Lab to establish conformance with DOE nanomaterial protocol. Results of this assessment were presented along with measures to improve compliance to ORNL environmental compliance and waste management representatives. I have provided assistance in system startups, performance testing, and obtaining operating permits.I have developed SOPs for projects such as Oak Ridge National Laboratory wastewaster management per the sit NPDES permit. I am highly involved with helping organizations understand and meet new regulations. Show less

At IT Corporation, I evaluated and implemented treatment techniques to solve industrial environmental problems. I managed a remediation project involving in-situ treatment of soil contaminated by a large underground leak of formaldehyde which included a soil sampling program to determine the extent of the contamination, a laboratory evaluation to determine parameters for destruction of formaldehyde in the soil by chemical oxidation using hydrogen peroxide, a field demonstration, and the… Show more At IT Corporation, I evaluated and implemented treatment techniques to solve industrial environmental problems. I managed a remediation project involving in-situ treatment of soil contaminated by a large underground leak of formaldehyde which included a soil sampling program to determine the extent of the contamination, a laboratory evaluation to determine parameters for destruction of formaldehyde in the soil by chemical oxidation using hydrogen peroxide, a field demonstration, and the installation of a full-scale hydrogen peroxide injection system for final cleanup of the entire site.I also evaluated options for a chemical facility that had accumulated a large quantity of sludge in a settling pond following lime neutralization of an acid wastewater stream where disposal costs had been estimated at approximately $10 million.

At Hydroscience, I was responsible for numerous in-plant environmental projects involving identification of process losses of solvents and products, implementation of corrective action, and waste reduction. I helped perform extensive air and liquid process stream sampling at several plants at a large pharmaceutical chemical facility to identify solvent and product losses. I conducted laboratory research and development for optimization of an azeotropic distillation operation for acetic acid… Show more At Hydroscience, I was responsible for numerous in-plant environmental projects involving identification of process losses of solvents and products, implementation of corrective action, and waste reduction. I helped perform extensive air and liquid process stream sampling at several plants at a large pharmaceutical chemical facility to identify solvent and product losses. I conducted laboratory research and development for optimization of an azeotropic distillation operation for acetic acid recovery. This included the assembly of equipment to carry out the continuous distillation, analyses of samples to determine performance, and optimization of distillation conditions to maximize acetic acid purity.
