BACKGROUND

My undergraduate degree was in Chemical Engineering from the University of Saskatchewan.  Both graduate degrees were from the University of Calgary in Chemical and Petroleum Engineering.  My research interests lie in the gas management from industrial facilities, particularly petroleum operations.  This includes identifying sources, chemical composition, gas destruction reactions, and recovery technologies (such as LNG and gas to liquids).  The goal of this research is to mitigate gaseous emissions from these facilities.  In addition, I am involved in environmental detection and monitoring research (analytical detection/measurement and plume delineation) in produced water and drilling waste from offshore platforms.

 

 

RESEARCH

Waste Gas Recovery

- Modelling of production and destruction of produced gas from petroleum operations (onshore and offshore); flaring and incineration

- Alternative technologies for waste gas recovery/contaminant (e.g. CO2) removal from offshore petroleum operations.

 

Gas Recovery

- Recovery of associated gas from offshore production platforms; technologies for recovery, storage issues, transportation, and market.

-         Technologies to recover all or part of gas (NGLs)

-         Contaminant removal from natural gas produced at remote locations

-         LCA of gas storage/transfer options

 

Environmental Approaches to Process Engineering

- Sustainable processing of natural resources

- Integrated HSE approaches to pollution control

- Waste to energy (biofuels)

 

Effluent Modelling/Treatment/Control (oil and gas, mining, sewage)

- Wastewater characterization from municipal and industrial effluents (identification of key chemical constituents, plume delineation (using AUVs) , and monitoring technology)

- Treatment and control strategies

- Environmental fate and transformation
