FLOWMETERS; FLOW MEASUREMENT; METERING. Expert has devoted the majority of his career to the field of flow measurement. While this work has touched on metering products for several market areas (including gas meters, multiphase flow meters, and open channel flowmeters), the bulk of his experience has been in water metering, liquid metering, industrial fluid metering, irrigation metering, and petroleum-based fuel metering. He has designed and put into production many sized and types of liquid meters while employed as an engineer with an industry leader in flow measurement. In addition, he is knowledgeable regarding custody transfer. WATER METERING; REMOTE METER READING. Expert has designed five different types of residential water meters for both North American and international markets. He has also designed and put into production larger meters designed for commercial, industrial, and special markets (irrigation, submetering, and water flooding) using a variety of metering technologies. In a special subcategory of utility metering (water, gas, and electric), he has experience in the mechanical aspects of both semi-automated utility meter reading systems and fully automated systems called automatic meter reading. These systems involve hand held data collection computers as well as mainframe computers connected to utility meter communication systems (either telephone, CATV, radio, or powerline) to read utility meters without conventional manual meter readers. BUSINESS PLANNING; MARKET DEVELOPMENT. Utilizing his knowledge of the water industry, Expert has prepared complete business plans for small, start-up companies to divisions of Fortune 100 conglomerates with companies based in the US and in several foreign countries. He has assisted companies in market development projects from the market launch of new products through the process of establishing promotional strategies and advertising or communication programs. DIRECT HEAT DRYERS; FLUID BED DRYERS; FLASH DRYERS; ROTARY KILN DRYERS. Expert is also doing contract management work in the area of direct heat dryers used in the chemical industry, including fertilizers, paint pigments, foodstuffs, and minerals. His experience has been confined to managing the design, production, and commissioning of the fluid bed, flash, and rotary kiln types of direct heat dryers.
