Industry Research & Innovation
Peer-reviewed and conference work on sulfur recovery, gas processing, and emissions compliance.
Papers
An independent research paper on how small and medium private equity firms can structure post-merger integration to actually realize the returns targeted in buy-and-build acquisition strategies, combining a review of academic research with real-world case studies of successful and failed integrations.
Outlines the full scope of a proper SRU performance evaluation — from onsite sampling and safety preparation through engineering analysis — and the distinct value it delivers to environmental, operations, maintenance, and management stakeholders alike.
Covers practical optimization approaches for thermal incinerator performance in sulfur recovery operations, focused on operating and cost improvements available without capital investment. Presented at the Laurance Reid Gas Conditioning Conference, Norman, OK.
Addresses closure strategies for mercaptan handling around the gas sweetening unit, drawn from direct troubleshooting and field experience. Presented at CRU Sulphur + Sulphuric Acid, The Hague, Netherlands (also MEScon 2023, Abu Dhabi, UAE).
Presentations
Examines the industry shift toward co-processing biofuels and renewable feedstocks, and the resulting effects on sulfur recovery unit design and operation. Presented at the Brimstone Virtual Vail Symposium.
A troubleshooting case study on accelerated corrosion identified in an acid gas enrichment unit regenerator column, covering root-cause investigation via phased array ultrasonic testing and amine chemistry analysis. Presented at the Brimstone Vail Sulfur Recovery Symposium.
