EMPLOYMENT

TECHNICAL SALES / PROCESS DESIGNER May 1994 - Present
Black & Baird Ltd., North Vancouver, B.C.


As part of the team at Black & Baird Ltd.  I was responsible for all products in the line and coverage of numerous Mills, Mines & Treatment Plants throughout British Columbia.  I developed a high level of expertise with instruments for many applications. With Black & Baird Ltd. I developed an industry wide reputation as an expert in fluid mixing technology, with a focus on Biological Systems, Mechanical Aeration, Flocculation, Rapid Mixing Systems. I've worked with UV Systems, Ozone Systems, Flotation Systems, Chemical Feed Systems, Water Filtration, Reverse Osmosis, Dewatering Systems, Gas Diffusion Systems and Industrial / Municipal Effluent Treatment Systems and Materials Handling.

CAREER HIGH POINTS

I provided more than 400 Gauge Pressure, Differential Pressure and Temperature Transmitters as part of the Annacis Island WWTP.
I worked as the primary on a 1000 ton/day solar sludge-dewatering project for the city of Los Angeles.
I worked as a consultant to SWACO Global Services a Div. of M-I L.L.C. in Houston TX., on the development of their drill cuttings bioremediation technology.
