Took part in safety audit of proposed water curtain
spray system in event of any HF leak from alkylation unit close to
nearby homes. Ultimately won acceptance when tied to real-time alert/evacuation
call to emergency response.
1985-1990 N Z SynFuel
Worked with consortium of New Zealand environmental firms to audit - after startup - fence-line noise and wastewater
discharge. We dealt with noise exceedance on one side by relocating a farmer’s
house back 400 yards from the road. The wastewater quality was proven to be
significantly lower in suspended solids and no increase in heavy metals. For
cultural reasons the discharge was moved from direct ocean discharge to the
mouth of the nearest river – the Maori have the same restrictions with
shellfish as is found in the Old Testament. The science behind this is that a
river is a natural constant source of heavy metals at its mouth, so all treated
wastewater discharges are consolidated there.
