Expert designs treatment programs for condensate systems. He does this based on their application, potential problems, and return condensate uses. He uses computer programs to determine treatment costs. He develops and tests products for water treatment vendors. His specific knowledge includes the chemicals used and the methods of application. He has invented a Selective Phase Condensate Extractor for modelling steam condensation patterns throughout steam systems.
|
|
|
He has also designed treatment programs for cooling systems -- both open and closed systems based on the make-up of the water source, the water reuse requirements, and the system metallurgy and heat load. He also considers the potential scale, biological fouling, corrosion, and discharge limitations. He develops and tests products for water treatment vendors. His specific knowledge includes chemical prevention methods, scale control, corrosion control, biological control, and monitoring methods.

|
|
Expert works with corrosion inhibiting chemicals in cooling systems, boilers, condensate systems, and industrial and potable water lines. He develops and tests products for water treatment vendors. His specific knowledge about corrosion inhibitors includes chemical used, mechanisms involved in the inhibition process, and monitoring methods.
|
|
|
Expert has had experience in setting up a demineralization train for a simulation laboratory. He has inspected industrial demineralizers. He tests ion exchange media for contaminant removal efficiencies, and helps suppliers specify equipment. He consults with manufacturers of zeolite media and recommends chemistry changes to enhance ion exchange performance.
|
|
|
He has experience with several iron removal methods, including greensand, zeolite supported manganese dioxide, solid manganese dioxide, chlorine, permanganate, ion exchange, and filtration. He has created specialty laboratory waters that closely resemble natural water. He has formed several contaminants at high alkalinities such as clear water iron, manganese, sulfides, silica, and calcium bicarbonate.
|
|
|
Expert has developed and taught courses on water softening for utility power plant technicians. He has applied softening chemicals such as lime, soda ash, ferric chloride, caustic, and dolomite in laboratory and field tests. He has tested and selected coagulation and flocculation aids in softening applications.
|
|
|
Expert has investigated toxic metal and hazardous organic removal by ozone/ultraviolet treatment. He has also tested and validated reverse osmosis water treatment equipment of manufacturers. He has developed specialized tests to determine output failures of RO units.
|
|
|
Expert has inspected numerous stainless steel heat exchangers experiencing pitting corrosion. He has assisted a major chemical company in designing a new German plant that has all stainless steel cooling water systems. He has studied the basic corrosion mechanisms occurring in cooling systems with high chloride recirculating water.
|
|
|
Expert develops challenge waters for validation testing of water conditioning equipment. He has created specialty laboratory waters that closely resemble natural water. He has also formulated several contaminants such as clear water iron, manganese, sulfides, silica, and calcium bicarbonate at high alkalinities. His international travel has provided him experience with water in major industrial countries throughout the world. He has studied many types of water. These included geothermal, high silica, sea water, ground water, mine water, and surface water.
|
|
|
He also develops general water treatment chemicals to prevent corrosion, scaling, and fouling. He has considerable knowledge of biocides and other disinfecting chemistries. He develops specific waters for testing water treatment applications. He uses computer simulations to design water treatment programs.
|
|
|
Expert tests ion exchange media for contaminant removal efficiency and total capacity. He operates a third-party testing laboratory which validates equipment and assists suppliers in obtaining state approvals for installations and/or retail sales.
|
|
|
Expert consults with manufacturers of synthetic zeolite media and recommends chemistry changes to enhance performance. He tests zeolites for ion exchange properties in water conditioning and odor removal properties during gas cleaning.
